Pros

--Beautiful, clean, well-lit office that is easy to get to via public transportation --Friendly people. People you don't even work with smile at you as they pass you by in the hall --Cafeteria inside of the office with a variety of food that is relatively cheaper than the food sold outside of the office. --Diversity in staff in race, gender, sexual orientation. --Great scholarship and volunteer initiatives --Excellent team environment for full-time workers --Flexible schedule for part-time workers

Cons

--Low pay --No room for advancement. --Lack of adequate communication between management and employees. --Lack of diversity in management --An unwillingness to try new educational methods and technologies. --More profit-driven and less focused on creating genuine relationships with customers --Much of the staff works remotely, so a sense of genuine community in the company is lost.

Pros

The instructors are highly qualified and really enjoy helping students achieve their goals. Many of the staff and instructors work hard to build quality programs

Cons

Management has no idea how to manage or lead. Accolades are given based on personal friendships, not measurable, qualitative abilities. Students are given full rein of the campus. There is no support for faulty or staff. The workplace environment is extremely toxic, to the point where staff and instructors have fallen ill.
