Pros

Some great people work at Lincoln. It is nice to know you are helping people to get their career started. I enjoyed seeing the graduates start their new careers.

Cons

Worked an average of 10 hrs a day 7 days a week to meet monthly sales quotes. The Admissions Department was known as the "snake pit" for a good reason. There were many problems in the department which made it an unhealthy atmosphere.

Pros

Most teachers genuinely care about helping students. There are a few people in administration who are trying to do the right thing regardless of being forced to use questionable tactics. The pay is higher than working for state regulated colleges. Historically this school was very successful at providing a great education and opening doors for graduates.

Cons

The Nashville school used to be a great place to work where the students came first. I was there over 15 years. When Lincoln bought the school everything went downhill. The president, managers and administration who cared about students and their success were forced out and replaced with a team of incompetent and unscrupulous high pressure 'used car salesman' type people. Many of these with either little education or ability on how to run a school. The schools established professionals people who knew the most were now being ' trained and coached' by incompetents who knew the least. Instead of enrolling good students as was the case at one time, this group focused on luring in anyone who could get a loan. Nashville's new leaders no longer care about the students, just their money. Even if a student fails or wants to run back home, it does not matter because they still get a chunk of their money. They will even send collections companies after families who cant afford to pay. A great sucker punch after convincing them into sending their loved ones to school for a better life and being so nice to them while they forced their hand into signing loan documents. I was not going to do that.
