Pluralsight reviews

SVPs really will meet with your team and tell you to your face that they haven’t heard about any layoffs happening in the near future and will say whatever they have to to lower everyones anxiety levels when they start shooting through the roof because layoff rumors are becoming louder and more frequent. Next thing you know, layoffs are happening and you find out the SVP knew all along and even had a hand in who stayed and who got let go. It’s absolutely trust destroying. I don’t know how they think we won’t find out, especially when one of the Sr. Directors shares and gossips about the salaries of other team members with us. Speaking of layoffs, at least 5 layoffs have happened in the last 13 months. Following each layoff there is usually a small wave of resignations as well. The responsibilities and workloads of those laid off / resigned are spread out among those of us who are still here. However our pay does not increase. Some of our benefits are reduced if not frozen entirely; such as in role promotions, salary increases and bonuses. On top of all that we’re told to expect more layoffs. Morale plummets after each layoff and continually creeps lower every day in between layoffs. My current workload is unsustainable, and even though I’m transparent about that with my manager, there isn’t anything he or the team can do to help. We’re all stretched so thin right now but Pluralsight has nearly impossible goals for us to hit that we’re desperate to reach in hopes of getting some kind of salary increase.

I went through three comp plans and one catastrophic accounting failure that affected hundreds of sales people at Pluralsight within one calendar year. Every time I overachieved, seemingly, the comp plan changed. I never got paid commission for 10 months of over achievement and due to the accounting failure, when I departed (not by choice) the Pluralsight team took out of my base pay. I can't say enough horrible things about the leadership at Pluralsight - they fired me when I was applying for medical leave and then rejected my unemployment claims - leaving me sick, without insurance, and without any sort of income. Scoundrels hiding behind tons of corporate speak from fake nice wholesome leaders in Utah. This is probably why 75% of the sales team departed Pluralsight during the year I was there - no one could get paid and leadership simply did not care. Since I have left, there have been many, many rounds of layoffs. Seems like a sinking ship.
