Pros

Well known legacy brand in K-12 market with Accelerated Reader and STAR Assessments. Lots of customer loyalty and respect. But that is changing...

Cons

With new ownership, emphasis is all about profits. Yearly subscription increases without any new features makes customers question their loyalty. Comp plan for sales is out of touch with competition. No real understanding of how schools operate from senior management.

I appreciate your feedback and am sorry you don’t recommend Renaissance as a place to work. While we include customers in our learning—RAB, customer research, usability testing and SKP research—we certainly can better package all we do more so our teams have clear insight into all we’re doing to connect with customers. – Samir Joglekar, EVP, Sales & Services

Poor overall managerial culture and poor staff development

Pros

All your co-workers are your typical "Wisconsin Nice" and hours can be flexible depending on your manager.

Cons

Managerial level and above is very divided, both across departments as well as inter departmentally. This creates an endless "us vs. them" mentality, infighting, and takes managers attention away from their teams and direct reports. Little to no opportunity for promotions (ex. My team was newly created just over a year ago and not a single member of the team has ever been promoted, assigned a new job titles, or delegated with higher responsibilities)
