Apollo Education Group reviews

1. Middle management runs around like a headless chicken running from one issue to another and wastes a lot of time in useless meetings seeming to be very busy 2. Exec Management has absolutely no clue as to what is happening below. They rely solely on whatever BS that gets fed to them. 3. Bottom line, Management from top to bottom is horrible and rife with infighting and politics. 4. Most of the talented people have left and the show is being run by mostly sub par run of the mill people. Some pockets of good have been sidelined and taken over by mediocres. 5. Constant layoffs and re-org has inflicted low morale in the remaining personnel. 6. Absolutely no personal growth or training provided to the employees.

But, many of the senior-most management are SO disconnected from what the foundation of a university is... there is NO culture of 'correction of error'... its always the next thing and no one addresses real fundamental operational issues or talks about mistakes (its one thing to get chewed out... its another to brush everything under the rug). The are making up a lot of strategy as they go... and relying on a lot of slick powerpoints that, pretty much say the same thing as I'd expect from any MBA class (in x years, we are going to be [insert aspiration]...) but there is little linkage of strategy to action.
