Pros

There were a few talented people who didn't see the ship sinking in time and lost their jobs.

Cons

Senior management is an absolute joke. There is no direction. The creative director verbally threated the group on the second day of working their after someone quit and was promptly escorted out crying. I should have known it was a sign of things to come. HR was an absolute joke and would do a "formal" review process where they made it up as they went along all while pretending to know the role of the person they were reviewing and disregarding the employees managers review. I am glad I got out when I did. So many others left after I did when they finally got the picture that the ship has sailed. When you get the evil eye for leaving work at 7 while others stay day after day past 10 there is a major issue. If you are approached by this company run away.

Pros

The mission of the company, the customers, and the talented employees. Anyone paying attention to the press coverage for the past year will continue to see the impact ConnectEDU's solutions are having on the education sector.

Cons

The lack of understanding of how much there was to turn around in this company has had a tremendous impact on employee satisfaction. Ex employees calling anyone "despicable" should pretty much validate why they're no longer with the company. It's also incorrect to state that Senior Mgmt is never around. The CEO travels to Boston every week and I think his family would have a real issue with a comment like that considering all the sacrifices they've personally made to make this company successful. I'm not saying there aren't challenges, there definitely are, but I find people genuinely care about their colleagues and the overall success of this business. I also disagree with the comments about the lack of expertise/knowledge in the education sector - people need to do their homework before making blanket statements like that. There are key employees and some mgmt members with impressive backgrounds and relevant experience that are critical to the future of this company.
