Senior Manager, Member Services and Customer Retention

Varsity Tutors | "Competitive" comp not given

Steph's Notes:

Another careers page that feels like a parody of careers pages.

27 people listed on the leadership page and not a single Black leader among them.

Every page I look at on this website makes the company feel progressive scammier. The Culture page is particularly funny – maybe they can use their proprietary AI to make their Leadership Principles grammatically correct (or actually make them make sense).

Ability to work evenings and weekends dependent upon schedule needs

Nope!

Understand and appreciate that Nerdy is an apolitical company and that we can have the largest impact if we are united in our focus on helping people learn and not divided or distracted by advancing unrelated causes

And there it is, folks, our first Seriously, Maybe Don't of the week! Imagine being an education company that thinks education isn't political. IMAGINE. (Also, this is listed as a qualification. Just...yikes all over that.)

LOL Of course they don't list the "competitive salary." OF COURSE.

There are other CX roles open at this company but I can't bring myself to care enough to look at them.
