It went downhill

Pros

The students are amazing. Probably the only reason I stayed another year.

Cons

What used to be a thriving, supportive environment has now become a place where feedback is disregarded, and employees feel completely unheard. The leadership seems unwilling to adapt, and their refusal to listen to concerns has caused a rapid deterioration in morale. Long-time employees who genuinely believed in the company's mission are feeling alienated and overlooked. It's disheartening to witness the company unravel so quickly, especially when it once held so much promise. Sadly, this lack of responsiveness and communication is pushing people away, and it doesn't seem like things are improving anytime soon.

Pros

Provide lunch and breakfast daily.

Cons

Lack of bathroom break support, coach session, and not very welcome atmosphere, say one thing and do another. No freedom of speech.
