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

Work from home, good benefits, paid time off & the pay.

Cons

They say it’s not a KPI based position but it is. They will not give commission because they say we should be in it for the students and not numbers but the position is solely based on numbers. This is not a warm, team friendly position. Even your team mates are in competition with you. You will work two Saturdays out of the month and sometimes even Sundays and they still won’t be satisfied with your work ethic.
