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.

Deceitful upper management that does not value employees' well-being

Pros

For some time, the company seemed to be thriving, and working at AP was fun and exciting (thanks to 2-3 managers who worked hard to stave off the any negative and harmful situations). A handful of quality people. Acquired new skill sets. Pay is ok; however, not worth the stress and frustration.

Cons

Company reorganizes frequently with minimal reasoning. Upper management lacks transparency and professionalism. They pretend to be your advocate but turn on you if doing so works in their favor. They hire new upper management at crazy salaries--even if that management demonstrates over and over again they have no idea what they're doing. Quality employees with demonstrated talent and success let go during budget cuts, while less successful employees with poor character and work ethic remain. Upper management is unable to lead through change. Teams were told layoffs were over, but a month later more cuts were made with no explanation. Worked with employees who are out for themselves and will betray you to get ahead. Rampant gossip and lying. Company culture is devastating. Other reviewer was right--the cons listed for Academic Partnerships on Glassdoor are modest. And they're 100% accurate, not just comments from emotional and angry former employees.
