Pros

The benefits are great. Alex does an amazing job with the ERG's, My friends, old teammates and peers are the greatest benefit. The pay is good. I learned so much from employees and managers. I'm so happy that I've experienced and learned from others.

Cons

To accelerate learning for all children and adults of all ability levels and ethnic and social backgrounds, worldwide. Renaissance Learning Response… From a Glass door review. “Trust Each Other we are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and trust. “Transparency is a word that was used daily. It turned into… Where is the trust? Seven people were blindsided and let go after the best year of selling that the team ever had. A handful of new management making their way up now. Commission plan changes radically every year as they discover new and innovative ways to make you work harder for less. Unreasonable goals are an understatement, and they compared our goals to the previous year, except PD went from new business to not being included in your annual goal. We got commission on it at less than 1%. The more the company changed the more toxic it got. Some managers would Lie, favoritism is involved. When it came to training on the 40 products we have, we are expected to watch a video and sell it. This is where our mission comes in. We all learn differently and there are demo sights that don’t work and an abundance of training that’s needed. Be a yes person and do what they say, you’ll be ok. There is no promise for your security within the company. Quarterly meetings changed from letting us know how the company is doing to how statistics that show they are growing in diversity. cal!

Pros

Compensation and recognition is good relative to industry standards, but it comes at a cost.

Cons

The most toxic work environment I have ever experienced. Mid-level sales managers will lie to you, play favorites, reprimand you unfairly, hand you unreasonable goals and provide zero support, and no matter how much positive recognition you receive ( 10 sales awards over 10 years) you will never really feel safe, trusted or valued! Your commission plan changes radically every year as they discover new and innovative ways to make you work harder for less. Also, I would take any positive reviews on here with a grain of salt as I was personally asked if I would come and leave a positive review a couple times by my direct manager. Renaissance cares deeply about what is said here, because their reputation has been plummeting over the years.
