Pros

Virtual, otherwise no positives. A few good people.

Cons

Every single interaction and every single meeting will include negative colleagues and toxic interactions. The organization is full of people who are master forwarders and delegators.You will not get orientation and the reporting structure is fragmented. Student beware! It really is about the money and enrollment not the quality of the education bring provided.

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.
