Renaissance is an incredible company.

Pros

The work Renaissance is doing around individualized instruction, student learning and and teacher support is incredible. The company truly is focused on education, student success and teacher success. I have not worked for a company where they take their mission more seriously. The knowledge that the work we do here is really focused on a greater good is seen throughout the organization.

Cons

The challenge Renaissance is facing is that there are many employees so deeply invested in the visionary mission, willing to go above and beyond every single day, that they seriously risk burning out and loosing great talent. Renaissance is definitely a hard charging, ground breaking organization focused on a single mission, however, at some point supporting the mission becomes more than some employees can survive. Many employees tolerate long hours, average pay, and go with large unused PTO, because they believe in the mission, Renaissance needs to figure out how to bring some balance.

Thank you very much for writing this thoughtful review of Renaissance. I appreciate your comments about the organization’s purpose and how we manage the workload. As managers and leaders, I believe one of the most important things we can do for our team members is help prioritize and, as much as possible, balance their workload. I think it can be helpful for you to talk with your manager to ensure you are aligned on team priorities and goals, and I would be very happy to chat as well – call me any time. Thanks again for your feedback. — Daniel Hamburger, CEO

Too much focus on rapid $$ growth at expense of mission.

Pros

Great people who care about teachers, students and the company mission and making life better for kids. Good benefits and fair compensation.

Cons

New CEO, Daniel Hamburger, brings a very different culture from his previous role at at DeVry, and seems to lack any understanding of what makes Renaissance, its customers and employees special and successful.

Thank you for writing this review. I appreciate your feedback. As I am writing this, I have just completed my fourth week as Renaissance CEO, and I agree: I have more to learn about this great organization and K-12 education. As a leader, I believe in having an open door — and an open mind — on ways we can get better, individually and as an organization. Even though Glassdoor reviews are anonymous, I would like to hear your thoughts on what I can do more to learn more about our customers and the industry. If you feel comfortable doing so, please feel free to set up time with me. Finally, I agree with you that Renaissance is a special place — and that is why I chose to come here. Thanks again for your review. — Daniel Hamburger, CEO
