Pros

free snacks. happy hour. feel good about helping people (until you find out it's fake)

Cons

Company claims to doing a public service by providing free education and advice to low income students. Unfortunately the company sell's these low income student's information to for-profit online universities. These school have a reputation of low graduation rates and piling up student debt, as well as worthless degrees. Also employees treated like kindergardners and paygrade is poor

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience at Study.com. We pay employees extremely competitively along with generous benefits, which results in low employee turnover. It sounds like you may have left the company before we developed our subscription service, which is now a core part of our business model. However, another part of our business is in helping students reach colleges and universities nationwide, as you mention in your review. We have a long list of partner schools including for-profit, not-for-profit, and public universities. We're recognized in the industry for our transparency and our respect for students' confidential information.
