Pros

There are some amazing people in the rank and file who really want to make an impact and do their jobs well.

Cons

Unfortunately said amazing people are not supported and set up for success. The leadership is completely clueless and there is zero accountability at that level. Failures have only resulted in people being laid off while all of the leadership seems to hum along. They are not transparent with the employees, leading to a culture of toxic positivity. They taut how they are improving financially and only highlight "wins" while ignoring the fact that it was on the backs of people's livelihoods. There is no strategy except to save money now so no raises and no bonuses. There's no idea of where your career will go because no one cares or asks. HR is lost. It's a sinking ship and you should not go work there right now.

Pros

- Fully remote - Initially lots of course opportunities to facilitate - Interface with university faculty on select courses

Cons

- Decreasing pay - Zero stability for contract renewals (contracts given one cohort at a time) - No loyalty from Emeritus leaders despite my four years of facilitating the same course from its inception and high reviews from students and faculty - Change in policy requiring to rotate learning facilitators on courses due to some facilitators flaking on new cohort assignments last minute (whenever I never had this issue) led me to lose over $25,000 in contract opportunities - Emeritus leaders under India and APAC verification have an over-reliance on course ratings without clearly defined ratings criteria for participants, using Zoom polls to rate sessions, leading participants to unfairly rate facilitators low when they are disappointed about other aspects of course (outdated content) having nothing to do with facilitation quality - Each vertical within Emeritus (Global/US, India, APAC) has different priorities, new program advisors can drop initiatives of previous advisors leading to learning facilitator contracts not being renewed without explanation - Facilitators are viewed as customer service agents and learners as customers and the course as a product, meaning education becomes more about pleasing learner demands than actual quality of education - facilitators might take less risks in office hours due to fear of losing contracts, needing to facilitate for high ratings instead of appropriately challenging students
