Pros

- Good product - Needed to enter 5 words.

Cons

- Poor leadership and management: Leadership has absolutely no idea what they are doing and don't take kindly to any feedback from employees. They also would rather let a problem grow versus using the expertise and strengths of current staff. I've seen several employees get fired after expressing concerns. - In the few months I was there before getting laid off, I witnessed heavy employee turnover every month. - Myself and members of my team were laid off during a group zoom call, which is probably the most unprofessional situation I've encountered from an employer - The current CEO is toxic and unqualified, and has failed to set direction or get the company aligned on goals and initiatives. - If felt like they were playing house, like oh we need an SDR team but we have no direction or idea how they will work with the greater organization or sales team.

Reading Plus Response

Thank you for sharing this critical feedback with us. Reading Plus had launched a very aggressive sales strategy for 2020, and we had very intentionally doubled the size of our Sales Team in the months leading up to March 2020 when COVID-19 drastically changed the EdTech industry. Unfortunately the company did have to rebalance the staffing levels of the Sales team. Delivering this type of news is never easy. We were very transparent in our communication with those impacted employees and are sorry to hear that you felt mistreated in some way. Our CEO truly cares about our team members, and secured severance and extended benefits to help ease that transition away from the company. The company is in a much better position for success as we all emerge from the pandemic. We have clearly articulated our Company Goals and Initiatives with every team member, and implemented quarterly employee performance check-ins to help keep everyone informed and aligned on our direction. We wish you the best of luck in your next opportunity. ~ Reading Plus
