Mission Gone Wrong

Anonymous employee

Pros

Exceptionally nice office, good health and 401K benefits although those have eroded in recent years. Opportunities to travel and visit schools across the nation. to fulfill the mission of improving STEM education and better teacher training. New CEO seems like a great guy who is trying to make it right.

Cons

Where did it all go wrong? The mission is definitely worthy, but the evolution of the company has not been pretty and has also been a huge waste of donor funding in many ways. I would never recommend for anyone to work for this company. The actual work that goes on in interfacing with teachers and schools is wonderful. However, inside the office, the toxic atmosphere, the backstabbing, the lack of management, the lack of communication and the politics are stifling. Harassment and bullying by managers was rewarded. I witnessed so many great, brilliant people treated so very badly. Top management are too many and are grossly overpaid for a non-profit. HR Department is not supportive of employees. Overall, the worst job I ever had. What a nightmare!

Horrible organization

Pros

The hours aren't too bad. There's a fully stocked kitchen so that's nice. I honestly can't think of anything else.

Cons

Horrible pay, horrible management, horrible HR. If you're a big shot, then work here! They pay all higher up people well over six figures and cater their lunch every day. BUT, if you're not a big shot, you will get paid around $29,000 with horrible benefits. The HR employees are gossipy and they play favorites.
