A Disgraceful Company - Misleading, Disappointing, and No Regard for Employees - Anonymous Employee Zenith Prep Academy Employee Review

I was completely blindsided when I was laid off from this company after performing well in my role and holding a master’s degree in education. Just one day before the layoffs, the president held a company-wide Town Hall claiming we were in a strong financial position. The next day, several hardworking employees, myself included, were let go without warning. No severance was offered. Leadership said the company was “not in a position to offer severance,” which directly contradicted the previous day’s message about our financial health. While working here, I saw firsthand how many families were dissatisfied with the services they received. Complaints became so overwhelming that the company had to create an entire department just to handle them - concerns that are echoed in the numerous public 1-star reviews. A company that presents itself as caring about students and families, yet consistently fails to demonstrate the same care or consideration for its employees and their families. I cared deeply about my work and the students and families I served, which makes this all the more disappointing. The lack of transparency, empathy, and support shown during this process spoke volumes about where employees truly stand in the company’s priorities.
