Productive work place
Admissions Counselor (Current Employee), Fort Lauderdale, FL –
Pros: self-rewarding
Cons: healthcare benefits
Inbound and outbound calls to potential students wherein listening to the student is key to providing options to students. Management places value in the statement that the student comes first and not every student should attend the University. Co-workers are very supportive. The enjoyable part of the job is hearing the success stories from the students.

Admissions Counselor is a Sales Job
Admissions Counselor (Former Employee), FL –
Pros: co-workers, interviewing interested potential students
Cons: black out summer vacation dates, half pay for overtime, expensive healthcare plans, lack of advancement
Regardless of what they say, working in Admissions is a sales job. The school operates like a for-profit school, soliciting "interested" individuals, and pressure is put on counselors to enroll as many people as possible. The "student first" motto is just words. All that matters is enrollments. Keiser also frowns upon horizontal movement into other – more...  departments like academics, financial aid, etc. and there is little room for advancement. – less

Productive Enviroment
Volunteer (Former Employee), Tallahassee, FL –
Pros: provided lunch
Typically the day went by quickly and efficiently. I learned to scan and transfer the scanned information. Management was friendly, understanding, helpful, yet with a firm hand. My co-workers were accepting and friendly. I cannot declare what the hardest part of the job was due to the fact it came natural to me. I enjoyed most working with student services.

A place that has a great sense of family environment
Admissions Coordinator (Current Employee), Miami Lakes, FL –
Pros: family sense
Cons: no growth, low salaries, and ok benefits
Working at keiser is a great experience . Everyday you are working to assist a student to become successful. I learned how to explain to students what we are and who we are and be comfortable with it. The hardest part of the job is that its really no growth there, but the most enjoyable part being there is the sense of family.

Stimulating environment
English Faculty, Full Time (Current Employee), Orlando, Florida –
Pros: benefits package
Keiser offers a stimulating work environment for faculty. Sharing education with other dedicated professionals makes every day a new learning experience. As an English professor, I regularly find new ways to conect composition and rhetoric with a variety of professional career fields. The deans are interested in helping me to develop as an educator, – more...  they value what I bring to the college, and they appreciate all of my efforts. The benefits package for full time faculty is exceptional! – less

Interesting place to work
Financial Aid officer (Current Employee), Fort Lauderdale, Florida –
Pros: tuition reimbursement
Cons: half time
Well, Working at Keiser have been interesting since I have been able to increase my financial aid knowledge. They are very strict when it comes to rules and policies, so that allow the employee to have a better understanding of federal rules and regulations.

High pressure
Financial Aid Officer (Former Employee), Florida –
Pros: job within the financial aid scope
Cons: mandatory 6 day work weeks without compensation
This was a high pressured sales gimmick to allow many who were not college ready to sign-up for online classes. Keep in mind that online classes are a extremely rigorous: these are not classes for those that are barley literate. Demanded that students were signed up even if they did not have the required documents.

Difficult doing your job there
Program coordinator (Former Employee), Miami Lakes –
Not very pro-student. The programs success is largely based on the incredible instructors not management.

Not for the ambitious professional
Admissions (Former Employee), Florida –
Pros: annual staff retreat
Cons: pay(overtime is paid at a halftime rate), health insurance for families is expensive, questionable recruitment practices, pay does not meet industry standards
Do not work in Admissions or Financial Aid.Admissions staff is under paid and not valued. Great place to work for instructors. Holiday bonuses are offensive. Student confidentiality does not exist. If you are looking to stay in an entry level career without room for significant advancement; Keiser is for you. Otherwise, try other educational institutions – more...  that will reward valuable employees and promote industry progress. – less

Cares only about the bottom line
Admissions Counselor (Former Employee) –
I was a slave to this company for a year. They make you work long hours, nights, and weekends. No regard for personal or family time. To have insurance cost about half of your paycheck. Due to a bad economy they would threaten to fire you on a daily basis if you didn't fulfill their outrageous demands and they could easily replace you with thousands – more...  of others just trying to get a job. Finding people to fill their sales positions is easy for them. Keeping those people is impossible. – less
