Pros

I never write post on any platform expressing my opinion, but since the state of world and business has changed so drastically over the past few months, I wanted to share something positive. When many companies were forced to lay off employees left and right during the pandemic, we were never in fear of loosing our jobs. Our company did a wonderful job of bringing reassurance the employees. In return, I will say every employee gave 100% because we were able to see the leadership team, especially the CEO, really advocate for making sure we had everything we needed to be effective. We had a Townhall meeting almost a week ago, and for the CEO to express that our offices would not be open until after Labor Day because he understood the many challenges the employees had been facing over the past few months, speaks volumes to his leadership. Understanding that many employees would have challenges with finding childcare over the summer with the pandemic and really just the generally concern of everyones well being, he put the employees first. To have the level of sensibility towards the employees is heartwarming, and I am very aware, as well as many across the organization, that this level of leadership was not experienced for many organization around the country. I have now committed myself to giving 200% everyday because I know our leadership is looking out for the best interest of the employees.

Cons

Communication could be improved but it has vastly improved over the past year with the initiative of 1AP.

Pros

I've worked at AP for almost 8 years now and I absolutely love it! My management team has always been fair to our group and I have NO complaints. My salary is excellent and what I love about the company is that when employees give feedback they actually listen and try to implement it. We receive bonuses and pretty cool teambuilding events as well. Let's not even talk about the work from home benefits. Most of the ES team now works from home and if they don't now it's probably coming. Just that.....just that ONE benefit is TREMENDOUS. I don't think many people actually understand how awesome it is to work from your home and how much you save on food, gas, car repairs, clothes....I could keep going. If you get a chance to apply here, do not miss out.

Cons

I do wish our benefits were a bit cheaper and our systems could use an upgrade. Currently we have two systems which pretty much do the same thing, taking it down to one would help. However, aside from that I don't have many complaints. If I did, I would probably be looking for another job and I am not.

Pros

I have been with AP for over a year now and I an extremely happy with my decision to join the organization. I currently work as a Student Coordinator in the Retention Services department and get to assist student daily as they work towards their goal of higher education. My role is 100% remote (work from home), which has afforded me a work/life balance that is unparalleled to any other company I have worked for. We have a wonderful team that is very supportive and genuinely wants to see you succeed and grow! AP also offers a very competitive PTO and benefits package as well.

Cons

As with any online program management provider, there are times where the pace of the day moves extremely fast. This can be challenging, but the team and the company overall is very appreciative of the hard work that is being done and is not shy about sharing praises during those high-volume/productivity times.
