I cannot remeber the last time I saw the CEO, COO or any of the "C" in the company. They will demand loyalty but give nothing back.

High School all over again!
Admissions (Educational Sales) (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – April 12, 2013
Pros: its a gig
Cons: organizations integrity, hostile work environment, cliquish, high stress, high turnover rate, no respect from mgmt, and the list goes on!
The culture has a high school feel...Loud (unfiltered) music played from Pandora, insults hurled if quotas arent met. Never javd I worked for a company with a high Rate of employees on stress leave, high turnover rate, elevated blood pressure, miscarrages, alcohol relapses, return of cancer. This place is toxic! 2 of my friends (a married couple) relocated – more... to Colorado from The SD office and were both let go within 6 months..No loyalty on the company's part.I know the economy is not so great; however, if you must take the job, keep your career search current-THIS IS NOT A CAREER! – less

All employes were just another number
Recruiter/Academic Advisor (Former Employee), san diego, ca – February 11, 2013
The only way to get promoted was by how many people you enrolled, not by your skill level. It didn't matter about how qualified you were for a position, it just mattered how much money you made them.

Moved up relatively quickly in this company....but.....
Student Grievance Resolution Coordinator (Former Employee), San Diego, Ca – September 1, 2012
Pros: job advancement
Cons: everything else.
Moved up relatively quickly in this company; however, management has very high turnover, very cliquish and extremely inexperienced. Entry level positions are ridiculous with attrition. There is not much else to say....the star value speaks for itself.

Needs Improvement
Admission Counselor (Current Employee), Denver, CO – July 6, 2012
Pros: free coffee everyday
Cons: lack of leadership, no upward mobility (unless you know someone)
The company has it good as well as its bad parts. They are big on helping the community, which I find is very responsible. The management team is just that "management". They don't understand that people follow "leaders" and not "managers". It's pretty much a set up to fail from the beginning in my current role. Bad leads for potential students, reasons – more... for keeping you below the "meets expectations" threshold to prevent you from transferring out of the department are just some of the under handed things they do. The only thing they offer worth staying for is a free graduate degree, but given everything you have to put up with from the micro-management to the fraternization it makes you wonder if the free education is worth it. They continue to remind you that your job is on the line everyday. How you can see value in what you do when your job is threatened constantly? – less
