Excellent benefits, great place to work, micro and macromangement

Common reorganizations, metrics are vague and often misunderstood (if understood at all) by low management, very few work horses carry full teams.

Great place to work a few years ago

Pros

Decent pay, great benefits, nice coworkers, the mission of higher education for working adults is a good one

Cons

I agree with many of the other reviews that a few years ago, it was a great place to work. But then the outsourcing and layoffs started. I saw some smart, hard-working people being "let go", people with mortgages and families to support. Now it's an environment of self preservation and constantly being afraid of being the next to be laid off. Morale is low which tends to zap people's motivation. In addition, another con is the university's bad reputation. With hard work and motivation, the quality of education is actually pretty good and it is NOT a diploma mill as some say. But, the perception and reputation is bad.

Pros

Culture in team is good. Good 401k, tuition assistance, vacation. For profit with a non profit mission. They really want to help students.

Cons

Used to be paid by performance but because of HLC now I get the same pay as the lazy guy next to me so no real incentive.
