Pros

The benefits were good. The PTO and vacation time was also good.

Cons

One senior sales leader (using the word leader is hard to do) is toxic and senior leadership is still standing behind her. They have changed all senior leadership and fired almost all tenured (and successful) sales staff. Promised all kinds of change only to realign comp plans and up the base. The comp plans mean you have to sell double what you sold before to make the same amount of commission. That DOES not make up for a higher base. The culture used to be toxic, and I didn’t think it could become more. It has. I was always objective of how I looked at SkillPath as there was a lot that needed to change. I was excited for all the changes that are now in place. They fooled me. Don’t let them fool you.

Pros

Small family-like company, little politics, people focused, learning and development industry leader with an innovative tech twist; new leadership and org chart changes and evolution of brand and culture has resulted in growth and impactful change and success.

Cons

Lots of change over the past several years, and in the Sales function but strong, collaborative, leadership has created stability and positive results quickly.

Pros

At this point, I’m struggling to find a positive

Cons

They laid off the CFO with the explanation that they are going to institute a “shared services” model with the owners of SkillPath, Graceland University. What a recipe for disaster! Shared finance and HR. Bottom line is that SP will be tasked with managing both functions so Graceland essentially gets free back office support. Keep in mind a few things: Graceland leadership has ZERO experience running a business. The HR leader at SP is the epitome of the Peter Principle, and is overwhelmed just “trying” to do her job as it is. The cherry on top of all of this is the SP COO is a lackluster under performer who has no understanding of financial statements of how to read/interpret them.
