Pros

This place has great benefits and great people to work for and alongside. I feel seen and heard unlike other places I've worked.

Cons

They are still growing and figuring things out since my department is rather new. National leadership tries to govern us as if we're the other educational departments, but it doesn't work.

Business Outlook

Pros

The colleagues are supportive and the culture practices what they preach. The company cares about your work/life balance and is a psychologically safe environment.

Cons

The only con is that there is a lot that needs to be built still as far as processes go. But there is work actively being done on this and they keep an open door to suggestions for improvement.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a good cause. They offer a lot of paid time off, and vacation time. You are able to create connections with the students and the job can be very fulfilling.

Cons

The management team is very unorganized. They make promises of pay increase with no intention of full filling it. In recent years the company has turned into a puppy mill for other company's, and Per Scholas does a poor job of training the new students. The instructors are often in disagreement with the content creators as the content for the student is very outdated and irrelevant to the jobs they will be expected to perform after graduation.
