Pros

I can not recall a single 'pro'

Cons

The CEO is very kind and professional but lives out of state and is uninvolved with the day to day operations. the CFO is the most toxic executive I've had the displeasure to work under. There is no training at all and leadership will enter your cubical unannounced to tell you "okay, I have ten minutes"... This is what is offered for training. Very intelligent CFO but incredibly unfit to leadership. The turnaround at this firm has got to be among the highest in the industry with the exception of a handful of senior financial personnel. The office culture is degrading and the toxicity is among the worst around. I wouldn't wish employment at this company on my worst enemy.

Pros

I have been employed at Designs for 7 years and have really grown in my area of expertise. I knew very little about school finance when I started and now have learned so much! The company is very flexible with work schedules and really promotes personal and professional growth. I like that there is no micromanagement -- you know what your duties and tasks are and you just do your work! It's also nice to get to work from home occasionally when the roads are bad in the winter. I believe they truly care about who you are, where you are, and where you'd like to be. Kudos to Designs for Learning!

Cons

Other than my long commute, I can't really think of any bad things about working here.

Pros

Flexibility Co-Workers are collaborative Purposeful/Meaningful work

Cons

The dishonesty, favoritism and manipulation by upper management creates a toxic environment. Questions are either not answered or words are manipulated to make employees look bad. The lack of professionalism and respect of upper management is disheartening. The compensation they offer to professionals is insulting.
