Pros

By far the best part of Treehouse was working with amazing, talented, dedicated, brilliant people. But most of them have been laid off. If you enjoy working for a thrashing, unfocused, desperate company, being in fear of losing your job between layoffs, are inspired by a mission that changes every six months, or love being unsure what your company does or the product its trying to sell, definitely work here.

Cons

During my time here everything was in decline -- benefits, starting salaries, student focus, transparency and honestly from upper management, morale, organizational trust. A regime of companywide micromanaging resulted in extremely talented staff spending most of their time sitting in meetings, generating spreadsheets and reporting the same information over and over instead of doing what they did best -- creating an excellent educational product. Then the CEO laid off nearly 50% of the company, including most of the people responsible for making the product, abruptly and without warning, after months of lip service about our bright future and dedication to our mission. He pretends to care about diversity in the tech industry but is perfectly willing to sacrifice his company's goals, mission, focus, values, salaries, employees etc to chase dollars and boost his ego.

Pros

Bring able to work from home 100% of the time.

Cons

The list is endless. There is no guidance and the CEO (Kari Brooks & Jason Gilmore))/Private Equity Company (Xenon) expects instantaneous results. Every other week higher ups would have the sales team switch direction. The higher ups have no sales experience and have no idea how to actually relate to people (employees and prospects). The price point for the service is SO low that the “uncapped” commission is a joke. The base salary is not competitive. They expect you to do your job along with everyone else’s job too. There is little to no coaching. Any ideas you have will get shot down. It’s their way or no way. And their way doesn’t work. You are only a number and a dollar sign so they will chew you up and spit you out within a year (or less).
