"Get it in writing. Negotiate an extended payout if terminated for any reason. Make sure that you are working for those in senior leadership who will allow you to succeed and help you along the way. The education division is probably the best example of solid, honest, and forthright leadership. It also appears to be the only division that is making a profit at the moment."

"As long as things were going well for the company everything was rosey, at the first hint of trouble it became a very unstable place to hang your hat. You never knew what was the correct approach or the wrong approach to problem solving. It seemed to change on a weekly basis. Very unstable and un-focused leadership"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Don't pretend that working for GCA is a great career move; it is not. They historically pay well (or they did in the beginning) but you really need to check your voice mail while on vacation to make sure you have a job when you come back. Without exception, they implemented flawed strategies, or at least questionable ones and when they didn't work, it was the poor person who had told them it wouldn't work in the first place that is let go. This is an excellent example of a company by the venture capitalists, to the venture capitalists, and for the venture capitalists. This was not a company, it was a number of people hired for a finite period to see if they could put into practice what the venture capitalists hoped they could. No loyalty."
