Pros

A drivers license and a heartbeat will get you a job. You don't have to do much to keep your job.Just let your manager think they know it all.

Cons

A drivers license and a heartbeat will get yo a job. The culture in this organization is very poor. Executives are out of touch and afraid to speak to anyone, therefore they only speak through emails and video clips. It's really pathetic. They don't care at all about students or their employees. Everybody below the 10th floor likens the executives to a clan of bad used car salesmen. I have been looking to leave as many of my co workers. But somedays it is just easier to do nothing and get paid rather than look for another job.

Pros

free coffee, free air. some free junk but not healthy food.

Cons

VP ran this place like a sweatshop, requiring people to support around the clock including most weekends, producing below par product for the University of Phoenix, which was not a great place in the first place. Its no wonder students are dropping off from enrollment like flies due to lack of quality in the product faculties and students are using daily. Most of time and effort are spent doing rework, and asses covering for each other in management. Software deployment takes days. Really? is it really rocket science? or bunch of incompetence folks creating emergency situations and solving them at the 47th hour to be heroic? Mid-level management collude to protect each others and the product quality suffers and so do the students and faculties, students drop off and thus revenue. Lots of gold bricks taking up the office space and not carrying their weights. <B>STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! PEOPLE ARE RUNNING MAD FROM THIS PLACE AS THOUGH A FIRE HAS BROKE OUT!!!</B>
