Vantaggi
I had the most wonderful coworkers. Everyone I worked with, in office, was intelligent, funny, and hard working. They were fun to travel with, easy to talk with (about work and personal life), and open minded when it came to ideas. I met many wonderful educators, leaders, and clients during my time there. These connections will hopefully last a life time.
Svantaggi
In regards to treatment: I was fired the Monday after Thanksgiving. This happened after I sent an email to my bosses asking them to review a draft flyer - not the final version. We had NO review process in order for graphics and copy, and I sent all materials to them for review. They sent the flyer to client/partner without reviewing. After I stood up for myself post firing I was asked to stay after all. I should've taken that as a sign and just left. I was never listened to. I consistently was told my ideas were too expensive or were bad. The marketing "department" (2 of us) was always looked down on when event tickets weren't sold even though we we're following managements ideas. One of my coworkers was re-diagnosed with cancer while at Eduscape. When she asked to work extra days at home she was criticized for not getting enough done. She was told she wasn't a superstar like her resume suggested. When she passed this past May, my coworkers and I found out at 3:00 pm on a Friday. We were told to stay the rest of the day. At one point we hired a Director of Marketing and Partner Relations - part time - show casing how they like to give titles with virtually no meaning attached. Things could 360 while she was gone and she was completely left out of all partner meetings. When the director asked to go full time she was told they couldn't afford it, but would fire me so she could go full time if she wanted to. I had one coworker, who wasn't involved in marketing at all, who was constantly going out of her way to micromanage me. She also would call out the marketing "department" every time there was a "typo" on a social post in a chat that included the entire company instead of just approaching the marketing department to let us know. Lastly, employees are never treated as a first priority. Constantly meetings with personnel in regards to raises and performance are canceled or forgotten about. My contract stated that my 6 month review would take place on Feb. 28th. When it didn't happen, and I asked why, I was told it was never on the calendar. It didn't happen until April 14th (ish) and I was told I was getting a new job description that wasn't done. I would receive my new job description as well as find out if I was getting a raise in 6 weeks. This didn't happen until the last week of June. In regards to perks/benefits: Crazy turnover rate. While at Eduscape three employees were fired and four learning leaders left on their own accord. I can say with upmost certainty that they weren't forced out as they had all told me at least a month in advance about their plans to leave. Other reviews have referenced perks, gifts,and special treatment for birthdays, when employees were sick, or after long travel days. I never received any of this except for my one year anniversary, when I was sent a $50 gift card. Management's favorite employees, who were out of the office, may have received these thing but no one in office was ever given wine, days off, or gift cards for birthdays or after travel. My birthday was never acknowledged and another coworkers anniversary was completely overlooked. Only upper management is on the website. We were told we would be on the site soon, but of course this never happened. This is done in an attempt to hide the true size of the company. When I left, there were less then 10 full time employees (not including my 2 bosses) - 3 of which weren't in the office. Of those full time employees, 7 were left off of the website.
