Pros

If you're lucky, you run into other individuals in similar roles who are great people; efficient in their duties and genuinely cares about the students that they work with. In my current role, there's a bit of flexibility that is allowed as far as set hours each day and working remotely. But that's as far as the pros go

Cons

Where do I begin? Management is incompetent; nothing is communicated well to "lower-level" employees; false promises and hot air is continuously spewed through excessively long conference calls and e-mails. Most of the positions ask for at least a bachelors degree when pay does not match AT ALL. There are select favorites (that are too incompetent) throughout the company that get ahead, while the rest continue to drown in a situation that can't improve.

Pros

Remote and flexible. Good culture from higher up but team morale is down.

Cons

Turning more salesy than helping students. Too much focus on hitting budget.
