Where do we go from here? - Anonymous employee WebAssign Employee Review

Pros

WebAssign helps educators by allowing them to teach instead of wasting time grading homework. Serving educators is the reason most of us are here. Even though our future doesn't look very hopeful, morale is holding steady. While the desertion rate has risen, it is still limited to those who can find other jobs.

Cons

The company is going through a rough period. We have lost our primary breadwinner and our revenue will be significantly curtailed over the coming years as they replace us. This information has escaped into the general population and it has made hiring very problematic. We have 20 open positions mostly in sales and software development. Most of the executives don't have a background in education or innovation.

Pros

Lots of natural light in the office. If you want a place to show up and do less than challenging work on a daily basis, this is the place for you. That is the job security factor. Fresh fruit once a week and the unoriginal usual offering of chips, soda, candy, coffee stuff plus the equally unoriginal beer/wine once a week thing.

Cons

Everything about it is lackluster, out dated and stale; the "culture", technology, innovation and reoccurring "struggles" of the company as a whole. Management has no clue how to mindfully engage much less walk the walk the expect of others. Drones for the most part. Advancement? Unless this is your first job, don't expect to be compensated (annual reviews are subjective; the review "formula" for rating is kept hidden from employees) nor find a path to higher career success. Purse-strings for annual "bonus" are pulled tight and equally as subjective. There are none with no where for a person with any experience to go in this company.
