Pros

Haha, I am unable to think at this moment

Cons

My experience at Zen Educate highlighted some issues with workplace culture and communication that prospective employees should be aware of. The office environment felt quite cliquey, and it often seemed that success depended as much on fitting into certain social dynamics as it did on the quality of your work. At times it felt like you needed to “butter up” people in management and act as though certain behaviours were acceptable in order to stay in favour. Communication around expectations and feedback could also be unclear. In my experience, concerns about performance or output were not always communicated in a structured or transparent way. This made it difficult to know exactly where you stood or how you were expected to improve. A more open, professional culture where feedback is delivered clearly and consistently would make a significant difference to the employee experience.

Pros

It is incredible to work with a company where the employees genuinely care so deeply for the educators, schools, and children. It is clear that every decision Zen makes is made with the intent to better the education system. I am so excited and thankful to make a difference and have an opportunity to work directly with schools and educators in my community.

Cons

Zen is growing rapidly. With lots of new employees I am hoping there are still ample opportunities for growth within the company and internal promotions remain priority.

Pros

Amazing staff- Mia is the best! lots of offers for job in lots of different areas. They are very understanding and can work with your schedule and always do their best to answer any questions you have.

Cons

They do not have great communication between the schools and the company's. When I showed up for my first day as a 1 on 1, the school didn't even know that I was coming or who I was there for, Zen also didn't have information about the student for me.
