Pros

I worked as High School Presenter. Having the flexible schedule and working with student. Technology in the Classroom Presentation as well as the Advantage Academy which they had in 2 states. Discounts on grad schools. Out of all the For-Profit schools they did it the right away. Accredited, and like any other University. If you are fresh out of college its not a bad gig

Cons

Too Many: ( Should have left at 4 years) Got suckered by the money Redundancy in task. Minorities were rarely promoted so unless you were a white male or attractive white female then forget it. The Current Director of Channel Admissions has never done admissions but they promoted her over the Hispanic bilingual male who has 9 years of admissions experience. So if you are white male they will keep you and promote you. Poor Leadership. The University never made it a priority to track what students came from what high schools. When we went into the homes, we had a better understanding of where are students came from. When we went to the Presenter/ Closer model we lost that. As Presenters when Counselors asked what students from previous years classes were attending the University we could only say " I do not know." or " A few" but we had no idea. Lastly the University opened too many campuses too quickly and never concentrated on the Quality of Life of the students. Athletics, Student Groups,etc. Just a new presentation does not answer the questions of " For- Profits Schools" We went from 16 week classes to 8 week classes. 12 weeks would have been ideal but shoving too many classes into a tight frame.
