Pros

Intent/goals and communication in the beginning was great. Then…

Cons

Hired their previous highschool students - diversity and qualified employees were absent in the workplace. Over promised benefits and under delivered the promise. Promised great salary, but worked 13 hours or more a day. That’s why I wasn’t paid hourly. Owners were taking advice to run a business from a book. Owners asked for feedback and it was never well received. There was usually a quick/short cut you off response. Had to use your personal cell for company phone. Did not get any compensation for the use of my personal phone. Promised to work the majority of the time at home. Wrong again… I had to work in the office.

Pros

CharacterStrong is one of the rare organizations where the mission, values, and culture genuinely align. The work is incredibly meaningful, and it's rewarding to know that what we do positively impacts students, educators, and communities every day. The company has built a strong people-first culture centered on kindness, ownership, excellence, and problem-solving. The team is filled with exceptionally bright, talented, and passionate individuals who care deeply about both the work and each other. As a remote organization, there is a high level of trust and flexibility, while still maintaining a strong connection and collaboration across teams. If you're someone who enjoys learning, growing, and working alongside high performers who challenge and support one another, you'll find plenty of opportunities to thrive here.

Cons

CharacterStrong is a high-performance environment, which can be both a strength and a challenge. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and there is significant accountability. While many employees appreciate these standards, this type of environment may not be the right fit for everyone. Because collaboration is highly valued, there can also be a lot of meetings. While they are generally productive and purposeful, there are times when additional focus time would be beneficial. Aside from this, it's hard to find any additional cons.
