Pros

A number of folks who are actively creating a fun and positive culture. Flexible environment, with an emphasis on continuing education. Great benefits.

Cons

A number of folks who are negative, no matter what. Compensation isn't competitive; far lower than the rest of the country.

Pros

Wonderful Co-Workers, great benefits, good working hours.

Cons

Too much favoritism. Some people get rewarded just for doing their job. They work hard, they deserve it. I work hard too and I also deserve it. Since I work on the phones, I have to depend on a survey in order to get a reward. This is not a fair incentive.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We believe that we offer one of the best company cultures in the area and our great employees contribute immensely to that effort! With regard to your concerns, at Penn Foster we discourage favoritism. We give our managers and supervisors the tools needed to create an environment that is both fair and equal for all employees. In the meantime, if there are questions or concerns employees are always encouraged to have discussions with someone else on the management team or Human Resources.
