Savvas Learning Company reviews

Overworked, under appreciated -100%- & can be very caustic/threatening/hostile if you are not willing to be a “yes man” and always commit to more. They don’t promote from within but bring people from other companies and different industries, again, making current employees do more to compensate for new employees not ready to actually contribute regardless of detailed & useless onboarding documentation and procedures. You will simply be thrown in and told to get it done with little to no actual training. Nobody has a work-life balance because there are too few people that are actually capable of doing the work and leadership thinks that by filling a role they are solving the problem. Think of a Trump rally where everyone cheers but has no idea (or really cares) why. The emperor and her leadership team have no clue just how dysfunctional the organization really is. Very dehumanizing. This organization wants young, inexpensive people. They do not value older employees or industry experience unless they can get it cheaply, and do not promote often.

-Savvas (headed by Bethlam Forsa) furloughed a massive group of talented and dedicated people in 2020 for 6-8 mos in some cases. Within 1 mos of ending those people's hopes of getting any salary back that year, they gave "bonuses" to the rest of the company. Perhaps a better method might have been reducing everyone's salaries by 10% so that people who have been with the company for 20+ years retained their jobs AND those left weren't then handling two people's jobs. -Benefits USED to be good at Pearson, Savvas continue to get worse and worse. -Raises? Figure max 2.5%/yr over an 8-year period of time (across the board). Not even to cost of living standards. Negotiate your salary well before coming on board here! -Nepotism. Shown at its worst in 2020, but pervasive through 2021, more at mid-management level (Director) promoting friends without any repercussions except talented people eventually leaving.
