Pros
The only good thing about working at MeriEducation was the students and the tutors.
Cons
I worked with MeriEducation on hiring and experienced a surprising level of age-ist reaction that was disappointing. They only want to hire people who are young (when I interviewed a very qualified and sweet retired teacher with exceptional background, they wanted me to deny her because of her age). Another instance that gave me dread was going on an administrative getaway where the founder and owner of the company spent lengthy time making fun of and poking jabs at a fellow admin employee who was unable to make the trip. I gave so much of myself to the company, traveled to every center every week, and was paid a poor wage. After mustering up the courage to ask for a raise, I was fired a month later after returning from a friend's wedding. The CEO, CFO, and my supervisor skyped with me for what I thought was going to be a quarterly review. My CEO began by stating that while the company is small, it's a place to grow into a career and hone your skills, followed by the poor reasoning that I had the ability to see the best in others and that was an unfortunate skill to have in my position. I knew there was an assistant director position available (I did all the hiring for every center except one) and was denied the opportunity to work in that position, or any other for that matter. They gave me the choice to either quit or be fired; how kind of them. I asked for two weeks to be able to set aside some money and have time to apply for other jobs and was denied that as well. When the skype talk was over, I was no longer an employee. The night before they fired me, one of the directors who knew what was about to happen took me out to dinner and talked trash on the company and CEO, encouraging me to admit the unfairness of the way employees were treated. This was one of the worst work experiences I've ever had. They will make you feel special and important to your face and have a completely different opinion as soon as your back is turned. By the time I had caught on to the backhandedness of the company and their morals, it was too late and I was in the "you're fired" seat. I do not recommend this company.
