Pros

Great people that you work with. Great vision for supporting universities. Recent changes in sales team seems to be looking up. They've hired a great visionary that seems to want to implement changes and support morale.

Cons

Missing the mark and losing great universities because of internal errors. Very negative environment, missing the positivity! No support from management other than to make sure you have your number each month. Moral is terrible and only got worse the last 4years. Changes happen so often you just wait for the next major change to happen. Layoffs occur all the time, you lose great employees and it's never spoken of. No team support. Management does not manage,reads from pre designed scripts and never truly supports the team unless your making your goal each month. Goals are unrealistic and not designed to make a person successful. Very disappointed in changes that have occurred in the last year. They have brought great support and hope to see management finally make needed changes. Managers need training on how to be effective managers. They need to listen to the people giving feedback about positives and negatives and not just take a "no excuses" approach to sales solutions. No excuses does not mean we just pretend there are no issues. Help your team and listen to each member. Managers should not get upset and try to punish you for disagreeing with them. If they really want changes, listen to what's going on and try to come up with suggestions to improve. They need to take the issues that occur and address each one and come up with solutions to problems as they occur. Treat each territory as an individual, realistic goal that is attainable.

A disappointing experience.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. People are very nice and polite. Nice offices and a comfortable environment. They seem to show a bit of compassion to employees.

Cons

Training is terrible . The flow of information needed to be successful was almost non existent. Expect to be micromanaged. You will be under the microscope. Expect to see a lot of turn-over of employees.

Pros

You can make really good money doing a brainless job; especially if you are afforded the chance to do so working from home!

Cons

The rules, procedures, regulations, and policies change EVERY WEEK. By the time you implement last weeks methodologies, you are already being disciplined for not complying to this weeks regulations. Not to mention all of the lies that you tell your students about their chances of getting into school. So many students are depending on you to provide accurate information to, in most cases, assist them with enrolling in school to further their careers. Although you know full well that they will not meet deadlines or admission requirements, you still allow for them to spend their money on applications and books just for them to find out that they've not been accepted (shocker) and will not be eligible for promotion with their jobs. Not to mention, the amount of times a day you will be cursed out on the phones by disgruntled students who haven't found out their acceptance status in months OR have sent documents to the admissions office that have been "lost".
