Pros

The culture at STEMscopes (now called Accelerate Learning) was great when I first started and is still pretty great today, though not as much. This is due to the fact that the company has recently grown significantly in size, leading to a less tight knit group and a few individuals who are not as friendly, welcoming, and enjoyable to be around as the high demand for hiring individuals superseded the usually (seemingly) more stringent hiring process. Overall, I love my fellow employees and the passion they show for their work.

Cons

Due to the growth in the company, the office is in a large building with other companies' office. We are too big to fit in a single office suite, however, leading us to take up three different suites (two on the 10th floor and one on the 11th)

Pros

My employers take care of me and my needs.

Cons

As a contractor you have to be proactive in searching out new work. Full time positions are hard to come by.

Pros

Almost everyone works incredibly hard and truly cares about providing quality resources to teachers/students; people and colleagues are friendly and helpful; small environment can make it easy for people to move up/transition roles; unlimited PTO, and generally good benefits; direct supervisors are kind, caring, and truly helpful; good base salary and commission for sales

Cons

Company is growing but still maintains the mentality of being small, so things run with minimal staff, which requires employees to stretch and wear numerous hats without pay increase or incentives; hybrid work schedule for "collaboration" in 2026 when half of the employees live out of of state and most competitors offer remote work; inconsistent policies with regard to who has to follow rules and who doesn't; high turnover or firing without plans for who will take over that role; majority of leadership is not great, no concern for work-life balance, parental responsibilities, no appreciation for how hard the bottom and middle-line works -- it's never enough; ridiculous goals set annually and then earned bonuses aren't paid out in full because those goals (shockingly) aren't met; employees who are favored are allowed to treat people poorly without consequence
