Pros

The Princeton Review had many bright and hardworking individuals that were constantly pushing forward due to their great work ethics. The culture was amazing at one point and everyone gave off such warm feelings. Unfortunately, it has rapidly declined within the past few months, especially after 2 waves of layoffs within the past 4 months.

Cons

Many of the employees either have been let go or resigned. Although TPR has not been doing well over the past few years, the parent company, ST Unitas, has driven this company to the ground in a matter of months. The current leadership seems to be very out of touch with the employees, and without being transparent about their direction, it almost seems as if they have no clue on what they are doing. There really is no room for growth at this point, and majority of any new hires are part-time Admin Assistants, who are probably underpaid with little to no benefits. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place.

Pros

You'll be given far more responsibility than you should, and if you have what it takes, you'll elevate your skills far faster than you could anywhere else.

Cons

You are given no resources to complete your responsibilities; no matter how many times you explain your problems, upper management simply doesn't care. Which is mostly ok given that there is no serious sense of goals anyway. Just when you figure out how to duct tape together your job, upper management decides it's time for a restructure (about every 1.5 years), which they will execute without a real plan. The company only stays afloat because intelligent, creative, hardworking people are intrinsically driven to make things happen, and the thanks they get is utter contempt from upper management, who are willfully delusional and disconnected.

Don't get on a sinking ship.

Pros

I enjoyed a lot of the people I worked with. Good resume builder. It was great being able to telecommute, and was a great lesson in time management.

Cons

The company is a sinking ship. The industry is failing. They are going into the ground after multiple poor business decisions. Employees have not been treated fairly because of this, and it is a disaster.
