- Puts Account Executives through a two-week “training program” after hiring them to evaluate alignment/fit further. Either hire someone and support them fully, or don’t hire them at all.
- Incredibly high turnover in the sales team. Six months ago, at least 60% of the current sales team wasn’t at the company. And I’m sure in six months from now they will have a new crop of sales professionals looking to make an impact.
- The technology constantly has issues. Lags. Disconnects. Implementation rarely is as seamless as we make it out to be.
- The mission is actually displacing many teachers/substitute teachers in districts by implementing a gig economy model to teaching. This undercuts the “constancy” we’re allegedly providing to districts.
- The culture is incredibly toxic and it starts from the top. I genuinely would not recommend this company to anyone. But they hide behind terminology like “growth mindset”to rationalize away any legitimate criticisms of the culture.
- Absolutely no regard for mental health and even the “unlimited PTO” is deceiving. There’s an amount of PTO management expects you to take (somewhere around 7-10 days if we’re being honest) and if you haven’t hit your quota…you better not take any time off, slacker!!
- Salaries are not competitive. Fairly standard. You could get more at a similar company at a similar size.
- Revolving door of sales staff makes alignments and prospecting incredibly difficult.
- Forced people to work on-site before vaccinations were being provided.
- Micromanagement. Everywhere. All the time.
