I read the reviews on Glassdoor and even discussed it with other new employees as we were being trained. I am happily employed as a teacher with another organization and regret giving Think Tank Learning a try because I thought it had great potential in a growing market.
This company is in trouble because it lies to clients and employees; cheating people is bad business. Read the other reviews, I am not the first employee to feel absolutely cheated. Where can all the students voicing their complaints? I thought it was odd when my manager asked me to write a positive review of the company a few months ago, and I think she meant well, but it seems most employees with good intentions are undercut by other managers. Managers are in competition over a highly-transient teaching and consulting staff, management makes promises in the sales process that cannot be delivered.
The problem of the company is making far too many promises they cannot keep. I watched good teachers put in terrible positions and good students inspired by disingenuous promises. When management guarantees a client admission to an Ivy League school, they pressure teachers and consultants to produce results or suffer the consequences. Do you want to be the teacher faced with the ethical decision whether to write a student's essays for college admission or not? At Think Tank Learning, your bonuses and evaluations depend upon making promises that you cannot keep and than being forced to decide whether to help these clients cheat or not.
I left this company angry that such an unethical company as Think Tank Learning exists. I want to be sensitive that this is a company that serves primarily Chinese clients. I was excited by this opportunity, and expected a difference work ethic; however, if you expect to grown in the United States, Business Ethics 101 is required. I am sure the company is clever enough to earn an A in class without really learning anything about managing an honest, decent, ethical business. I read Confucius say that you may cheat an honest man, but do not make a fool of him.
你可以欺骗一个诚实的人，但不出丑了他
