      Toxic Culture, Constant Layoffs, Zero Stability

      Manager of student engagement
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote work is the only real benefit.

      Cons

      If you’re not in the inner circle, your career here won’t last. Layoffs are constant, and leadership shows no concern for employee stability. Even higher-ups dislike working here but stay for the paycheck. Extreme micromanagement kills morale and productivity. Partner universities are stuck in contracts they can’t escape. The CEO is arrogant, and his inner circle is no better. So many good people have been let go, destroying team dynamics. This is not a long-term company—expect to eventually be laid off. The culture feels like modern-day slave labor. The good reviews you see here are from the inside to boost ratings. RP even advertises to its employees to leave positive reviews on sites so it won't appear as negatively.

      Unethical Leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Academic Partnerships used to be mission and people and values focused making a huge difference in making education more affordable across the country.

      Cons

      Once Fernando Bleichmar came on, values went out the window. All that matters is Fernando and the PE overlords. They made a promise to you for your year's of dedication and results? Gone. If you're not a Fernando pick you mean nothing.

      Thank you for your candid feedback. Organizational changes can be challenging, and we encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner with additional questions or concerns as they relate to your role or department. We are still mission-, people-, and values-focused, and appreciate your feedback.

      Worst place ever

      Enrollment specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Seriously run. It's a glorified telemarketing job. You have ZERO communication with the university partnerships as an Enrollment Specialist. You are micromanaged for every second of the day. It is degrading and humiliating.

      Cons

      Everything sucks at this organization
