Rapidly Declining Program

Pros

They encourage flexible work schedules and there are truly passionate faculty and advisers that work for the company

Cons

Faculty come in with no teaching experience and there is no onboarding or mentor program to help them with classroom management and teaching. Students suffer because professional nurses understand their specialty but not how to teach. Each department is always short staffed and senior leadership comes on campus from their national locations and do not push to change it nor support it. Budgets are often cut and students do not have basic college resources. When students voice their concerns it is often seen as complaining Admissions admits students that are academically challenged which is a nice thing because we are school that gives second chances but there are not the proper resources in place to support those type of students which is unfortunate. English as a second language is very common in addition to their being an older population. Both of which need additional academic support larger than the tutoring center ( which is also often shortstaffed) There are wonderful resources such as the simulation lab that are rarely used by students because they are rarely promoted. Students get very little hands on training which is odd considering they're being taught by nurses. Faculty is not watched by their leadership to ensure they are teaching probably in the classrooms or holding students accountable. Cheating is widespread because of a lack Of a reliable and secure test bank. Our students often do poorly on test and after faculty throw out multiple questions they pass. Which is ultimately very scary when it comes to students we are graduating.

Just "Okay"

Pros

You are technically an hourly employee and most managers were cool with flexing your schedule if there were times you needed to come in late or leave early due to personal appointments, etc. A lot of young people work for the company so it is a good place to start as a recent college graduate.

Cons

It is a sales job in disguise which can be very stressful. You will have many unnecessary meetings all based on "hitting numbers" and it is easy to lose focus on the students that we serve. There seemed to be a lot of favoritism from managers to employees and employees could quickly become disgruntled.

Pros

Diverse student population, faculty diverse too but becoming increasingly less. Many resources available to students. Less resources to faculty and staff. Tuition reimbursement. Free parking. Stores and restaurants nearby.

Cons

Tuition very high, no breaks in between sessions, limited weekend campus and library access. Salary less for faculty and staff working in Chicago compared to sister campuses in Illinois. Faculty and staff moral low.
