Profits Over People - Anonymous employee Proximity Learning Employee Review

Proximity Learning is a perfect example of a company that started with seemingly noble goals of providing desperately needed supplemental digital instruction and “putting students first.” Unfortunately, the last 2 years have proven that management is focused solely on profit and growth and does not seem to be concerned with how little they pay their own staff nor the sheer volume of work placed on them. As a result, teachers and management leads (the very people who brought this company from just an idea to reality) are starting to leave in droves while the company continues to sign contracts with school systems without making sure that they actually have enough teachers to perform the instruction. Of all these talented individuals who felt compelled enough to leave the company, they did so with the heart-breaking realization that Proximity could be a great company. At one point, they all believed that. The past 2 years have proven that the company did not believe in them. To quote the CEO “What got us here won’t get us where we want to be." And PLI will get there…no matter how many talented people they trash in the process.
