Pros

great team mates and at the beginning of the company the culture was everyone's most proud and sought after trait until now. a team that put away their personally lives (or any work/life balance) for the success of the company.

Cons

the founders fired more than half the team in 3 months after they promised everyone this would never happen, all because the CEO forecasted too aggressively. there is no work/life balance, the hardest working people work 7 days a week and are not appreciated or compensated for it transparency and the company's culture are not important and you never know if you are going to be fired within a week or a month the founder's need help and don't know how to get it and are too proud to ask for it management says we have a flexible work schedule but if you don't arrive between 8-9am and stay until 6-7pm then they will get upset (even if all your work is completed on time and flawless) salary is not based off of your experience and hard work but if they like you personally and think you are worth it

Thanks for your candidness with the issues facing the company over the last year. I think it's hard to understand everything and the information behind decisions made by the CEO or management team when you haven't walked in a persons shoes. With all of the press lately, I hope you take a few minutes to put yourself in the founders shoes and understand how hard it is to be a female founder and CEO in this climate. That being said, I want to sincerely apologize if you felt that we expected too much from you. That was never our intention. As you know, we had a very trying year in 2016 and we are working on making 2017 a much better year for the company and our employees. If you would ever like to talk about the issues you faced at the company, as well as what you think we can do to fix them for future employees, I would welcome the chance to talk with you about it. We can only get better if we talk through these and make changes for the better. We are constantly working on it and evolving.

Pros

There are so many opportunities to learn from others in this company. Everyone from the founders to managers are top-notch, driven individuals that deeply care for your personal growth and growth in the organization. They are an education company and live by their mission to provide affordable materials to teachers and homeschoolers but they have the same attitude when it comes to an employee hungry to learn and sharpen their skill set.

Cons

- My chair did not have the proper lumbar support thus making it difficult to maintain proper posture and this section requires a 20 word minimum to complete this review.

Pros

* Supportive staff and laid back atmosphere while still being very professional and respectful. * Everyone is working towards a common goal. * The collaborative environment and young staff also make it a fun place to work. * Ideas can be cultivated and implemented within hours and management encourages to succeed (and even fail). * The staff & management are just plain awesome.

Cons

No real complaints. We are a small team so I think it would be hard for someone to work here that didn't like having their work change frequently to meet the needs of the start-up.

Thanks for your review of working at Educents. As a company, we strive to support each individual who works with us and to create a work environment that plays on their strengths. We are only as good as our team, and I truly believe we are very lucky to have such an amazingly brilliant, hard-working team.
