Continuous Lay-offs, yet still hiring - Anonymous employee STEMscopes Employee Review

My employers take care of me and my needs.

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

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

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
