The fine print
If you receive tuition reimbursement, you must remain employed with Pandora for one year after completing the course.
If you leave before the year is complete, you may be required to repay the reimbursed amount. This commitment is not prorated.
If Pandora ends your employment without cause, repayment is not required.
Note: Participation does not change your at will employment status.
Online courses are eligible if they’re part of an accredited, work-related program. Courses should be taken outside of work hours, unless you’re using paid time off. Only successfully completed courses are eligible for reimbursement.
