Pros

Smart developers and creative teams

Cons

Some of the top management is disorganized, unfair, unclear directions, and some of the VPs are very arrogant making for a poisoned work environment.

Mostly awful for FT corporate positions

Pros

Not much in the way of supervision or management oversight, which means you'll sometimes get the freedom to create your own projects as long as they cost nothing. In this way you might be able to turn TPR into a stepping stone to something better.

Cons

- Ridiculously high turnover at every level - Low starting salary, no raises of any kind (no annual bump up, nothing for merit, etc) - Minimal opportunities for advancement - No matter your job title or function the company treats you as a glorified salesperson - Unsustainable workload, most managers admit that churn and burn is the accepted way of doing things

Pros

I worked at TPR for over 8 years. My colleagues were wonderful, many even are still friends years after I left. The tutors I worked with truly care about their students.

Cons

Literally everything else. Pay is awful. Male colleagues got paid more than female colleagues in my office and nothing was done about this despite it being flagged to management. Senior management is incredibly toxic, with the attitude if people want to progress in their career "they're welcome to do so elsewhere". Ownership changes every few years and has been steadily downhill. They do nothing to invest in employee growth or satisfaction. Absolutely do not work here unless you have no other option.
