Pros

Education benefits are ok. Almost free tuition to continue your education their programs. Quality of education is good for those students that can handle it.

Cons

Micromanagers who have no idea what they are doing. Constantly tell employees to do things against compliance just to recruit 1 new student. Say they want everyone to get promoted and grow with the company but will make up excuses and intentionally give you bad performance reviews so that you don't get promoted or get a decent raise. Never recognize employees for a job well done. Always focus on the negative, unless we make goal and then it's a win for the whole school. School has cut so many employees that the quality of service we boast about having just doesn't exist in all departments. Tell you that they care about your work life balance but then insist you work overtime without reporting it so they don't have to pay it. If you want to be in higher education, do it through a state institution.

The event created a sense of community, recognition, and pride that reflected our dedication to student success. Seeing graduates and their families celebrate this milestone reinforced how our work contributes to helping students achieve their goals and create better futures for themselves

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.
