Pros

The people in my department were great, that was it.

Cons

Scantron was at its prime when it was the hottest technology decades ago. Still finding other ways to be profitable , but now it’s a sinking ship internally. PE takeover in the last couple years and it’s never been the same since from what I understand. Many of the managers have an impressive tenure, but I have seen a lot of them go in a short amount of time Unbridled CEO full of hot air who excessively recycles executives, and drains the life out of managers with their erratic and illogical demands. Executives are continuously replaced until the right henchman is found. I was only there less than a year and got caught in the process of rabid reorg, apparently purging every department, and bringing in a new team to “fix it” without any understanding of what the problems are and what work is involved . Total communication blackout among senior managers and executives at a surprising level. A ton of contracting overseas to supplement workforce all across the business. There have been employee surveys introduced but they refuse to share the results of them , citing they have to protect employee anonymity, which is a straight up lie , as pretty much every other company in the world who does this is transparent about the general results and stats . Huge red flag right there. So many red flags in general.

Pros

There are no longer any pros - a private equity firm bought out Scantron and they are eliminating their entire K-12 division.

Cons

Scantron falsified documents to save money on taxes - unfortunately resulting in employees not being able to collect unemployment on Covid furloughs. Furloughed employees were asked to help with projects while furloughed (and not being paid) and when the issue was brought to Scantron's attention, employees were told it was too expensive to fix and employees should be grateful they were not laid off. The dishonesty was so shocking that I quit and went to their biggest competitor - 6 months later they laid off most of the people I used to work with - including the CEO.

Pros

free soda and a break room

Cons

If you like pina coladas and lack of management, lack of ethics, lack of HR knowledge or assistance, lack of accountability, lack of equality (do not apply if you are a woman or a minority), lack of respect, furloughs, lay offs, pay cuts, constant change of ownership, lack of internal policies & processes, lack of training, lack of empathy, extreme workload and favoritism this is a great fit! If you enjoy being lied to, discriminated and retaliated against this is perfect home for you!!!! APPLY TODAY!
