Avantages

Great office space, "unlimited" paid time off. The premise of the company, which is to reduce summer learning loss for students in certain parts of the city, is admirable.

Inconvénients

The CEO is a young egomaniac who cannot stand to have any type of dissent in the company that is contrary to his opinion. He changed the company from a non-profit to a B corporation (for-profit company) so that he does not have to disclose the financials of the company to anybody within or outside the company. He purposely invited his employees to a "safe space" discussion about the company and fired those who disagreed with him -- and he made sure to fire them after the busy season for the company, which is the summer. He laid off college students that were supposed to work as the Teaching Fellows for the summer with zero notice after a week into the program, leaving many in financial troubles. He sugarcoated it by saying that he would "provide support" in forms of connecting them to other organizations, then "connected" them to positions that they were unqualified for. The CEO says that the company is 7 years old, but it's really only been a real company since last summer, and it should be very telling to all future employees that no one in the programs team has stayed to see two summers yet. The CEO has no experience or formal education in education or business, and has never worked for anyone out of college except for himself. 2 of the highest-paid positions in the company are occupied by the CEO's childhood friends who also do not have experience in their positions. Stay away from this company - it looks all rainbows and sunshines in the beginning, but you'll learn very quickly that it's all talk. Lastly, the quality of the program that they run for the students is disgraceful; I would be very surprised if the company is not shut down by the DOE soon (if the company doesn't go down first for its hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, that is).

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry that your employment at Practice Makes Perfect didn’t meet your expectations. My commitment is and always has been to the kids we serve and the schools we partner with. That sometimes means having to make incredibly tough decisions that everyone may not agree with. Being in leadership is not about making the most popular decisions, but rather the best decisions for the company. More often than not, those are not one in the same. I can assure you, as someone who has invested tens of thousands of hours in this company and sacrificed so much of my personal life towards our purpose of achieving equity, I will always have our organizations best interest at heart. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. Thanks again, Karim, Founder & CEO
