Pros

-Competitive starting salary -Good benefits package/ 401 K -Enough Cosi and Corner Bakery to last a lifetime -Once invested, you can take classes towards earning your masters for free..... sort of. Apparently new tax guidelines limit the amount of "free" tuition an individual can receive in a given time period. If you go over the amount ,you will end up paying taxes on the "free" tuition as if it was part of your income for that year. Basically if you want to complete your masters for "free" and avoid any tax ramifications.... your going to be there a long long while!

Cons

-Don't let the "admission advisor" title fool. The most advising you'll do is telling prospective students how quickly they should start. -Very little help from management with resolving issues in a timely manner. -Management is concerned with one and one thing only.... Enrollment! -Extremely low gradation rates weigh heavily on your morals. Statistically the students you enroll have a very low chance of completing their program. -Low admission standards allow for students who do not posses the skills nor work ethic needed to be successful in college to take on tremendous amounts of student loan debt and in most cases never compete their degree. Bottom line is tax payers are footing the bill because of poor admissions standards.

Pros

The benefits are really good, they have a flex work program. You get free tuition for a Masters degree. They are implementing work from home. Most of the people are very friendly. They have a cafeteria. You are in a dry building. Covered parking garage. Great off the highway location if you're at Kinect.

Cons

My pidly 2.5 % raise only covered the raise in insurance. I like a lot of others, took the job because I was on unemployment and was desperate, and I find the jobs are filled with people who are very over qualified for what they are actually doing. You do the same thing every day, for years, for little to nothing, with no hope of moving up to a decent position unless you are a favorite of someone. Once I find something else, I will be leaving. Jobs are repetitive and boring.

Pros

Higher salaries and better benefits than competitors in this field.

Cons

While change is good, this company changes policies and procedures so frequently that it becomes a barrier to doing your job and growing. Questionable competency of mid-management and poor communication of constant changing procedures.
