Backwards and Toxic environmentThe good thingsDue to the complacent and toxic middle to upper management, the bond with your colleagues will be strong. If you are looking for a place to retire in, live in the East and prefer just staying in your cubicle with a clear line drawn around you, Crestar is the place to be! If you have a knack for currying the favour of management, you will do very well in Crestar because that is all that matters here.
The challengesWorking for this company has taught me how to be resilient to the toxicity of incompetent middle management and the lack of empathy and compassion of the highest management. Crestar Education Group, once a giant in its industry, has grown to be an organization that lacks innovation with the leaders still stuck in the glory of the 1980s. Legacy planning is definitely not in the books of the management so those who are looking for career development has close-to-zero opportunities, depending on your curry favour skills.
