NATIONAL COLLEGE Employer Reviews

Seeking a position in which I can utilize my degree as a Surgical Technologist to work long-term in a patient focused environment.

There is room for individual growth and potential advancement opportunities but there is a high turnover rate.

I truly enjoyed assisting students with obtaining access to financial options to further their education. National College provided me with the opportunity to use my skills on a daily basic to assist other. The experience that I obtained there assisted my growth as a person and a leader. My co-workers were great and very informative. If there was a – more... position available I would work there again. – less

Great Students
Great Staff
Great Faculty

New campus - non-traditional education is the best education for it's money. Programs relate directly to the needs of the local workforce

I would do work-study in your field of study if its availble. It's like paid training. And it looks good on a resume'.

Excellent college environment for adult education. Faculty was well respected by the staff and the students. I enjoyed seeing "the light" turn on as the students started to understand the materials. I was responsible for teaching Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

The admissions reps are under pressure to pull people in from inquiries that come in. Most of these are people wanting something other than what is offered, just looking for a job and accidentally hit wrong button, wanting online(not offered in ohio) and are mad that you are one of about 15 colleges suddenly calling!! No excuses ... Very negative environment!! – more... This is a college that to the upper management it is just about making money. Some teachers really care and some staff do too but at the end of the day it a numbers game just like any other SALES job. Beware turnover is crazy! I feel these for profit schools will be gone soon because of the high tuition, low transferability of credits and lack of respect among the community. – less

Weekly turnover, I had 3 campus directors in 6 months. Raises are unheard of and the pressure that they put on the admissions team for enrollment numbers makes for a terrible work environment.

I was always searching for more work to do on a daily basis. It was always being micromanaged on a daily basis as well

Although I did not have a good experience with National College itself, I loved being a tutor for them because it allowed me to help other students and to maintain my own knowledge.

National College is conveniently located off the intersection of two main highways. It's atmosphere is quiet and personable. The staff guide the daily visitors on tours of all the relevant areas for a prospective student. The curricular study options are an accurate reflection of the job market, and preparation procedures are in place to launch the – more... next student's study cycle. Once the education process begins, very competent support is offered from adjunct instructors, library/media staff, student services personnel and even the campus director. – less

Everyday I would come into work and scan documents into our database, file any necessary paperwork, then I would assist prospect students in funding their dreams to attend college.
I learned so much from National. I learned rules and regulations for federal guidelines, how to run credit checks, how to create reports, and so much more.
The management – more... at National was so great. They went above and beyond to assist all employees in thier personal and professional lives.
I absolutely adored all of my co-workers. They was truly a second family to me.
The hardest part of my job was making phone calls to former students who owed the school money.
The best part of my job was I helped so many people make their dreams become a reality. – less

Great place to work; I really loved the job! Community based clientele interested in employment; my goals were to assist and find employment for upcoming graduates.

Helping students with schedules .I learned that I can accomplish anything. My co-workers where very knowledgable about what they do and were willing to teach me anything I needed to know.
Working nights. Helping people acheive their goals for a better education.

Nepotism abounds in the company. Continued violation of labor laws with a poor attitude toward employees. National College does not have an Employee Relations Dept or even someone in charge of employee relations. They even make you sign a form that states if you say anything bad about National College you agree to pay a hefty legal fine. Stay away from – more... this place. – less

The Campus Director reports to a person in a remote location (another state) who provides no clear direction and is consistently rude, demeaning, condesending and seldom visits the campus. Accordingly, be preapred to receive belittling phone calls on a routine basis Terminations are made on a whim and are typically based on personality rather than performance – more... considerations. The work atmosphere is often tense, unsupportive and is subject to high turnover. The interactions with corporate managers only serve to feed the bitterness of the operation and make professional success at this location highly unlikely. – less

The management from the campus level up to head quarters level have a lack knowledge on running a business. There is a lack of structure and the student body notice how unstable it appears. The promises made to students when they sign up suddenly are not made reality for them. The students are left with a huge amount of debt and little support to find – more... a job. – less

The school is focused on enrollment. A typical day for me included primarily outbound phone calls to prospective students with the purpose of setting appointments with them to come in, tour and discuss the options available to them.

The co-workers were very nice. The work was stressfull. the hardest part was staying up-beat at all times. The most enjoyable – more... was interacting with the students. – less

I enjoyed the field of work. The management wasn't very knowledgeable of the job and leadership needed improvement. My coworkers were great and worked well as a team. The hardest part of the job was dealing with such high employee turn over.

National College is wonderful place to gain a sense of strong work ethics and a wonderful sense of moral stability and confidence. Within that niche National college quickly becomes a close nit community. If you come in presenting new methods or go against the grain, you are going to have a hard uphill climb to make the job work for you. Both students – more... and teachers will fight to try and get you to know your place in this schools community. So going into this schools environment with strong self confidence certainly helps or else it probably isn't the job for you. – less
