Pros

-Great team members. -End of the year shutdown.

Cons

-Low pay. They claim they are in the top 3rd for pay. A quick search for other jobs in similar positions will prove that you can start at $45,000-$50,000 easily. I don't make even make that! If you meet all the expectations of your position your merit pay can still be under 2%. -Micromanaging with new call software! The new call recording software will flag you for every little thing you don't say or if you don't say it in the words they want you to use. It is NOT always appropriate to ask for a referral, but you will be flagged if you don't. -Lay offs. A lot of layoffs with zero notice to employees. They have admitted they expect more as they continue their "migration". -Strict "script" they want you to follow now. Having to ask for an application walkthrough each call is offensive to the students. If you are seeking higher education and online education surely you can handle beginning an online application. I have literally been laughed at on the phone for asking this more than once. -The reorganization of the company has gone from true student support to how many contacts can we make a day. The days of caring about the students are long gone. This is just about metrics.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve found value in your team and appreciate the year-end time off, but we also recognize your concerns and understand they reflect real frustration. We know that recent organizational changes, including system updates and process shifts, have had an impact on how some teams operate. Our intention behind these changes—including the adoption of new software—is to create consistency in the student experience and ensure we're meeting the high standards our partners expect. That said, we also want our teams to feel trusted and supported and appreciate your feedback on how you are experiencing this shift. Regarding compensation and layoffs, we remain committed to staying competitive and transparent in our practices, even as we navigate the challenges that come with evolving our model. We recognize that transitions like these can be incredibly difficult, and we’re continually working to improve how we support employees throughout them. We appreciate your dedication and the thoughtfulness behind your advice. Feedback like this helps us keep a pulse on where we can do better.
