Working at Guild Education in Denver, CO: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Denver, CO Area

"I cannot emphasize enough how imperative it is to stay away from this company at all costs. They have no moral code and make reckless business decisions. When I worked for them, I was accepted into an education program. Although their mission is supposedly to empower working adults to get an education, they gave me bait and switch but ultimately refused to accommodate my schedule. Senior management indicated that I would be able to work an alternative schedule, but when I asked for confirmation in writing the plan was rescinded with no room for negotiation. They remained inflexible despite me providing multiple alternative work plans that would still entail me working 40 hours a week and completing the same volume of tasks as the rest of the team, within their operating hours. Additionally, in this era of the “great resignation/labor shortage”, I was appalled that they would rather lose the money recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training a new employee as opposed to saving their money for retention efforts. Furthermore, if you are a person of color this cautionary tale goes double for you. They possess a white savior complex and love talking about brown frontline workers whose life was changed by Guild. It’s disgusting and they are a capitalistic leech that likes to profit off of but never fully support marginalized identities masquerading as an education technology company."

"The company has grown too fast, without clear direction for what it wants to do with the people it’s bringing on. The CEO has a very negative reputation internally (known for terrible EQ and lashing out at employees). Overall, ICs and lower management is very kind and supportive, but the company is disorganized and inefficient."
