      Pros

      Company may be shutting down and then I won't have to work here anymore.

      Cons

      New CPO is Damian Creamer's (CEO) wife. It says she has been CPO since 2023, but that's hard for me to understand since we had a Chief of Staff until April 2024 and I hadn't heard anything about a new Chief People Officer during that time. In fact, an office was being renovated for Damian's wife's business (which has since shut down) during that time. So that's confusing to me. And suddenly, new 5 start Glassdoor reviews are coming through. I guess she's doing a good job as PR Officer.

      Hi there, I understand this comes from a place of hurt, and I’m truly sorry you’re feeling this way. To clarify, I stepped into the CPO role in January 2025, though I’ve been supporting StrongMind in many different ways for many, many years. When I took on this role, I made the decision to close my personal business in order to fully dedicate myself to StrongMind’s mission and to the wellbeing of our teams. The recent 5-star reviews are a reflection of the changes we’ve been working hard to implement and we are grateful that some team members have taken the time to share their positive experiences. I understand that change can bring questions and that not everyone may feel the impact of that change right away. But I want you to know that my focus is on listening, improving transparency, and helping build a stronger, more supportive working environment from the inside out. And StrongMind is not shutting down. We are continuing to serve students, families, and educators for years to come. I am always open to having a real face to face conversation if you’d like to talk. My door is open. If there’s anything I can do to offer clarity or support for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. -Noelle

      Cons

      Some employees who were effected by decisions weren't kept in the loop like they should be.

      No Nonsense Guide to Strongmind/Primavera

      Pros

      You essentially work at Primavera Online School. The job is straightforward. It's not hard at all once you've gotten used to it. There is little to no micromanaging. You see those movies with a diverse cast of office workers always laughing and having a good time with each other, that's what it is. Your coworkers in the admissions department will be your biggest ally and some of your greatest friends. You are still expected to be a functioning adult in the workforce. There is little to no harmful gossip. Of course, there is some; anyone who has worked for more than a year in their life will tell you there's always some form of gossip. If you can't stay out of it professionally, that's on you, not the company. If you work here for less than 90 days and tell people everyone is out to get you and physically harm you...even people in different buildings...People are gonna talk about it. Especially copy-pasting a nasty review you leave at every single job you've been at for 90 days. Admissions leadership always does their best to support you when you need it, even if they aren't getting much themselves, which is always appreciated. Our new Admissions director has recently done well in helping the department stay in the loop when he can, and is working hard to get changes done asap. I truly think that good things will start coming, and I am sad I will not be there to experience them.

      Cons

      All that being said, executive leadership stopped caring about Primavera. Which is the building you're in, and how you introduce yourself on the phone. Admissions is severely understaffed, overworked, underpaid, and completely demoralized. It wasn't always like this, but unfortunately, with inflation and a rise in minimum wage, we saw no change. Currently starting pay is 19.50, and in two years we had a 2% company-wide raise, which is almost laughable. A stale pop tart from the vending machine. People have been there for 6+ years and are hardly getting two dollars more. Absolutely zero room for growth. The only growth is the work Execs add on, not considering how it will affect the admissions process (for the worst usually), and certainly not compensated. If you're good, you'll train and not get compensated or promoted. That's not admissions leadership. That's executives. It's a shame at how crucial admissions is and how neglected they are. The job itself is so good, they really have something here, but don't tell your workers they're the face of the company, the frontline, and give them nothing. A pizza party that ADMISSIONS leadership has to pay for out of their own pocket. The yearly "we care about you, bye" every year is a smack in the face.

      Thank you for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review. Your passion for the admissions team and your teammates is clear, and we’re grateful for the impact you made during your time with us. I want to personally recognize the concerns you raised, especially around staffing, compensation, and feeling heard and we are not ignoring them. While the last few years brought many challenges, we're actively working to rebuild and reinvest in the teams who make our mission possible. That includes more open dialogue, smarter systems, and improved support for frontline staff. We are not perfect, but what we are is committed to doing better and to fulfilling our mission to serve students and families for years to come. —Noelle Creamer Chief People Officer
