The company is all about filling the pockets of Randy Best and his investor cronies

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I loved the people that I met when I worked there. AP was lucky to have hired very dedicated, committed team players who really believed in the mission of expanding access of a higher education degree online to thousands of students who couldn't afford or have the time to attend an on-campus program. I bought the vision hook, line and sinker...and sunk with the ship.

Cons

Executives are all out for themselves. In a meeting, Randy didn't care about the masses of people he was laying off, all he cared about was keeping his personal health care benefits. You can't trust what anyone says. The company is making money, but it's going to Randy's investors to keep them happy, not the employees doing the work.

Lack of Competencies in Leadership, mediocre programs that are expected to be promoted in a very competitive industry

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a great concept of partnering with state universities, but because there is no strategy in place and executives that lack leadership, they are unable to implement effectively. They have 100's of programs, yet they are not relevant in today's industries and potential students are not interested.

Cons

There have been recent layoffs of over 10% of the staff. Top performers were laid off, yet under performers were kept. The company began to become very tight fisted with budgets and reimbursements which leads you to believe they are struggling financially.
