Good pay, poor management, no security
Admissions Manager (Former Employee), Ontario, Ca –
Cons: short breaks, poor leadership, corporate sales not a school
The pay was adequate however the leadership was lacking. I worked for directors that didnt even have a degree yet were working at a degre granting school. You have little to no sercurity unless your friends with the higher ups. I have served in many facets professionally for this industry but never have I encountered a place so unprofessional that is – more...  not at all focused on student success. – less

Fast paced, ever changing environment
Campus President (Current Employee), Arlington, TX –
As a Campus President 75% of my day is spent coaching, counseling and mentoring my staff and students. The best parts of the job come at graduation when the students have fulfilled their educational goals and are moving on to the working world. The work is fulfilling and rewarding!

Changing Students Lives One by One
High School Admissions, Sr. Counselor (Current Employee), Norcross, GA –
Pros: return on investment
Cons: vacation time, and commission
Changing Students Lives One by One; I love this family oriented environment, but I seek to find more challenging work as a career. I am seeking more of a consulting, human resources, management opportunity. I seek a career without micro management; I enjoy generating new business and new ideas. I enjoy finding ways to save money and improve the company's – more...  ROI. – less

Organization that is helping people change lives in spite of internal power struggles
Vice President (Former Employee), Santa Ana, CA –
A typical day of work includes 500+ emails, multiple conference calls, multiple deadlines and that is above and beyond managing your campus and/or department responsibilities. The best part of the job is the students and the difference you can make in individuals' lives. The hardest part of the job is that executive management (above a VP level) wants – more...  to make all the decisions and be involved/included in everything so decisions occur at incredible high levels and take extremely long time to make including hiring, process improvements, etc. People are considered commodities and very replaceable. You are expected to work 7 days a week via blackberry, email and/or on campus and anything less is considered "uncommitted". – less

Great pay is the ONLY good thing
Admissions (Former Employee), Tampa Fl –
Great pay is the only benefit of working here. Horrible management. You have to sell something you dont believe in because your job is to rip people off. They'll be going out of business soon.

Worst position ever! High turnover and "sales" environment
Admissions Representative (Former Employee), Portland, OR –
Cons: bad managament, high turnover, unset schedule, late and varying shifts
Poor management, high turnover, phone a thons to annoyed and angry customers. Students are treated as "for profit" and not as people. Weekly goals of enrollments and punishments and threats to position held if numbers are not met.

Unlike any post-secondary institution I have or ever will work for! By far the worst!! Avoid and REALLY consider if this – more...  is the type of environment you will perform well in. – less
