Toxic culture and poor working environment

Pros

Great for tutors who need a flexible job and want to build a career out of tutoring. A recognized brand in the ed tech industry although quickly losing its relevance.

Cons

Toxic culture and poor leadership. Couple of people from the parent company making all the decisions without any consultation or feedback from field or other employees. No transparency and very hierarchical structure. Also facing severe financial pressure. Wrong people in the wrong job throughout the company.

Pros

A select few of their employees are outstanding individuals. My location offered free parking.

Cons

The corporate leadership structure is appalling. The former CEO, resigned three days into my time with TPR, and his successor spent his introductory webinar casually confirming that individuals would be laid off, but that "[my] package is always well-received." He is a thunderously incompetent individual with little regard for the livelihood of his employees. The pay is competitive, but there is truly zero direction under the foreign parent company. An excellent job if you would like zero stability, and a ludicrously inappropriate leader.

Pros

remote work, not constantly looking over your shoulder

Cons

The company does not value its employees. It says it does, but no one has had raises, even cost of living, in years. It doesn't listen/incorporate ideas for improvement. In an age where online presence and digital infrastructure is critical for success, they have so few tech developers that projects are consistently backlogged and minor bugs are left unattended. TPR used to be the gold standard for test prep... SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT but the quality for students has fallen so low... it's sad to see this once great company being destroyed by senior leadership.
