Pros

Close to good food options if you forget to bring lunch.

Cons

I had a terrible experience working at New Reach Education. The upper management had completely unrealistic expectations and every project had an immediate deadline, leaving little room for quality work or innovation. Unfortunately, half of the work I poured my heart into never saw the light of day, as projects were constantly pushed off or canceled. To make matters worse, credit for hard work was often stolen by others, either by colleagues taking credit for my work or upper management giving credit to those who didn't deserve it. There was very little recognition for the efforts put in, which created a demoralizing work environment. Additionally, the company refused to allow any flexibility in work arrangements, expecting employees to work while sick or on PTO. They also expected employees to work outside of office hours and go above and beyond without any hope of promotion or raise, but "for the love of the company". Furthermore, the company had a habit of loading your calendar with pointless meetings, leaving little time to focus on actual work. This constant barrage of meetings only added to the frustration and lack of productivity within the organization. The Brand Visionaries, who teach the courses offered, were extremely unreliable, adding to the frustration. Working at New Reach Education made me question my abilities and left me feeling depressed and undervalued. Moreover, many of the courses they hosted seemed to be scams, preying on people already in difficult financial situations or teaching them how to sink further into debt. Overall, I would strongly caution anyone considering employment or courses with New Reach Education to think twice before getting involved.

Pros

This company helped me grow more in three years than I did in a decade at previous organizations. The pace, the people, and the mission pushed me to level up in every way. I was constantly challenged to think bigger, take ownership, and lead with intention. Unlike past roles where growth felt linear and slow, here it’s exponential.

Cons

I am extremely grateful to be part of a Company that feels like family

Pros

Having previously worked at an enterprise-level organization where everything was run by a committee, New Reach is a breath of fresh air. Leadership and my supervisor recognize my skill set and provide me clear guidance and intent and then let me get my job done by using the skill sets that I've developed over a 20-year career. Collectively, the company does seek the best approach and feedback from all employees; as well as, harnessing a culture of collective support.

Cons

As much as I love working remote; which I really, really do, sometimes I'm bummed I can't be in office when New Reach runs company events. It looks like a lot of fun. That said, New Reach is primarily an in-person, onsite company and I am allowed to come out to the office whenever I can make it.
