University Counselor - University Counselor Grand Canyon Education Employee Review

Pros

PTO and essentially a free master’s degree.

Cons

Can’t really use your PTO without it negatively impacting your ability to hit numbers. On the surface, this company looks great. Once you have worked for them over a year, you will see how terrible this company treats employees. PTO usage is highly discouraged, performance standards are high without adequate help to achieve the standards, and managers will deliberately work against you if they don’t like you. If they like you, they will hand you easy enrollments. If your manager dislikes you, they will remove students or leads out of your name. This job will give you excessive stress.

Cons

I have truly wrestled with what to write in this review, as I do believe there have been good aspects of the role over the past 4 years. However, I think prospective employees deserve a clear understanding of the role that is not included in the job description. This is a quota-based role. As a UDR, you are responsible for monthly metrics that must be met. It is a strictly sales job, and those coming from a previous higher education background will soon be shocked. To truly thrive in this role, a sales background is needed and the ability to work 50-plus hours a week. If you do not meet your student enrollments, you will be placed on an improvement plan. If you thrive in a fast-paced setting with continuous pressure to be more and do more, this is the role for you.
