Good mission but low pay

Field consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's easy to believe in the mission and stay motivated to help students.

Cons

Management is top-down and very male-dominated. I haven't had a direct boss in many months, and when I do, they are ex-pats from Japan that often have difficulty communicating with U.S. employees and don't stay very long.
