Pros

Terrific company, people, culture, etc. I LOVED doing work that supported first responders!

Cons

This role simply turned out not to be a good fit for me at all. 95% of the work that I did was mass production of content, navigating an extremely rigorous review process, and was left with very little time to actually design and develop quality courses. I was initially brought on as a contractor for a special, high-visibility project and then got hired full time. When I was first hired, I was initially told "We’re looking for someone with expert Storyline experience as well as a very modern and hip design aesthetic". So I took the job based on what they said they were looking for. Sadly, after finishing that first project, I quickly learned that ALL of their training was built in Rise and it just became a rapid-paced "assembly line" of of content with an extremely rigorous review process that... often took several months. Then I'd be left with three to five 1 hour (or longer) courses worth of content and only a week and a half to design and develop ALL of them.

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and balanced feedback. We’re glad to hear that the mission and the people resonated with you, and we appreciate the work you did in support of first responders. Your point about role expectations is an important one. Training development in a regulated environment can be more production and review-intensive than many designers expect, and it’s critical that we’re upfront about what the day-to-day work truly looks like. Your feedback reinforces the need for clear job descriptions and conversations during hiring. We’re also grateful for your kind words about your manager, and we appreciate you taking the time to share. We wish you continued success in your next role.

Pros

The people you work with are mission driven. Truly helping first responders.

Cons

1. Leadership not tenured long at all. 2. Leadership are not mission driven people at all but claim to be. 3. Lot of leadership turnover. 4. Became very political. 5. Everyone right now is CYA and brown nosing. 6. No job security at all. Will hire and fire without cause. VERY high turnover. 7. Companies reputation is going down. 8. They are eliminating sales people currently, so if you get hired as one, its temporary to build pipeline and close.

Lexipol has experienced significant leadership and organizational change, and we understand that can create uncertainty. Those changes are intended to strengthen the company, and building trust through communication, accountability and consistency remains a key focus for our leadership team. We also want to be clear that employee performance and development are supported through established performance management processes designed to provide coaching, feedback, and opportunities for improvement.
