Pros

- Really positive team and co-founders that encourage professional development. - The ability to make an impact in education. - Great benefits - funny co-working space, unlimited vacation days, semi-annual company retreats, etc.

Cons

- Communication can sometimes get lost since we have 2 offices (one in San Francisco and the other in Bangalore), however, it's pretty minimal.

Thank you! We will definitely keep promoting our mission! It is much easier when we have great co-workers to help us with it. We do realize there could be challenges with teams in different time zones and always appreciate your feedback and suggestions on potential improvements.

Lots of tools for Career Coaches

Pros

As a career coach you manage your own schedule and have use of a variety of tools. There are weekly team meetings, the coaching team has versatile background so there is always someone who is an expert at something. The coaches support one another and truly want to ensure everyone is successful.

Cons

There is a disconnect with the onboarding/sales team who seem to say anything to get students to sign on the dotted line. Telling a person fresh out of high school or even college that they will find a position earning 90k plus is very damaging and sets unrealistic expectations. Many of the entry level students have never held a professional position and that is disheartening when a coach is level setting on what they will actually earn if a position is identified.
