Savvas Learning Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
Savvas is extremely people oriented. They care about the individual worker. They provide the training and support necessary to be an effective curriculum specialist. They make everyone feel an instrumental part of the whole team. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no stress that I can really say is bothersome, but you have to learn to work in isolation at times and remain focused on the task of supporting the customers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture is definitely a plus. Everyone is supportive and responsive to the needs of each other. There is great communication and feedback throughout the onboarding and training processes. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The typical day is remotely working from home asynchronously to complete online training. However, this asynchronous training is supported by weekly update meetings with the full team. There is also an open door policy to schedule a meeting with supervisors at anytime based on their schedule.

Working at Savvas as an accountant has been an incredible experience. The company's commitment to professionalism and excellence in financial management is truly commendable. I have had the privilege of working with a talented and supportive team that values collaboration and growth.

Savvas provides its accountants with the resources and tools needed to excel in their roles, and the opportunities for continuous learning and development are exceptional. The work environment is conducive to productivity and innovation, and the management team is approachable and understanding.

I appreciate the trust and responsibility given to accountants here, which has allowed me to contribute significantly to the company's financial success. I am proud to be a part of the Savvas team, and I highly recommend this organization to any accountant seeking a rewarding and fulfilling career.

They have a great hiring process and respond promptly. While going through training, everything seemed easy and not complicated to understand. When starting on the call training for a customer sales representative, that is when you realize the training you had has nothing to do with what the company really wants. They want everything to be noted in a specific way and the proper location before transferring the account, but you are not trained on what those are and how to do it, so your call and notes keep being sent back to you for corrections. If the company were to focus the training on how they want the cases noted and filed, and the proper tabs they are filed under, and less on the general running of the company, the job would have been amazing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many people not pulling their weight combined with poor management who don't manage those people up or out,  The org structure isn't sustainable.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Too little accountability for people doing quality work.   If you've been there a long time, you can rest on your laurels and management won't do anything about it.   "Old timers" aren't sufficiently coached into new, more effective work patterns and hold the company back.

Meetings all day long.  ALL DAY LONG.  When does one do the work that comes out of the meeting?

For me it was uncertainty and low pay.  After the pandemic my job changed to and remained part time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fabulous welcoming, professional culture even though most employees work remotely with groups that chat during the day to stay in touch and connected, and employee appreciation days and events.

Simply put, coming in as a customer service agent if your not ready for their system boy do they make you even more not ready. There is a reason they give you a month of training as they shower you with glossary before slaming you with text books (similar to being back in school) with multiple sources of passwords and programs you have to all manage at a fast pace. Forget about trying to catch on to the smaller details, they rather you rush through learning the system then actually take time to help those who are struggling.  Team management never got better further down the line, very much a shark market.

I was transferred to this program from another program for the same parent company which also sucks. they denied me my PTO benefits that all employees are entitled to after 6 months tenure. 

Everyone else got it but me. I was singled out.  This was a seasonal gig, and after 3 months of arguing with the fools in management over the Savvas campaign, it took only 15 minutes for my re-hire trainer on my original program to fix everything with one phone call.

Ridiculous and childish.  Terrible company to reperesent for a terrible company.
