Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits, comfortable working conditions, high caliber technology and tools, talented, technical staff. Helpful back office staff and support teams.

Cons

Company is in a downward trend and losing market share in its space, revenue and profits are declining rapidly, student/customer costs are too high, University of Phoenix is up for sale - likely to private equity firm(s). All this equals doing more with less for the current team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Education benefits, nice co-workers and facility.

Cons

Company is ready for sale. If you get in, it won't be for long. Moral is horrible as everyone is looking over their shoulder for HR and security with a box. Executives are packing their golden parachute at the employees expense.
