The Art Institute Employer Reviews

The Art Institute is part of a larger company called EDMC, and it isn't a real college. This is a business that prays on the underrepresented and at-risk students. The management is incompetent and only concerned with numbers/profit. I think it's a terrible place to work if you're looking for a career in education. EDMC has been under federal scrutiny – more... for years...BEWARE! – less

People are very knowledgeable. Excellent communication skills.

I had alot of fun in this envirment very positive people.I learned alot about music and the equipment.

Productive place. Great people. all around good place to work especially with great technology updated yearly which is always up to date.

Assisting teachers and students with any technical issues.

I would make at least 100 outbound phone calls, but learned if you have that person who is interested in going to school, try and keep them on the phone and let them know what we have to offer. When I first started the management was very good, now they do a lot of micro managing. My co-workers are great. The hardest part of my job is trying to stay – more... focus on making phone calls when no one is answering. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping change someone life by getting them into school. – less

Disliked being there ... worst place to work.
Management had no clue as to how to run any department.

Working with all the woman in Film for this project was great. I felt like I was a part of a big production which it was. I gained alot of experience working with other professional in the field. The most enjoyable part of this experience was being able to participate in the interview process with the actresses, costume designers, and other notable – more... woman in film. – less

It's run like a business and not an educational institute. Good money. Admissions staff is the best.

Loved my time at Argosy University. Worked with a great Director who is now my mentor as well. Working with students who know the value of education is priceless.

This internship has provided me with a plethora of experience in collection management, data entry, research, filing, and upkeeping and creating maquettes for a model of the museum’s modern wing. After graduation I have also had the experience to work on many art handling and installation projects.

it was good getting an education and experience at the same time.

I found the culture of this company greedy, and did not enjoy my time there.

Everyday is different, every student is different, the needs and goals of one may not be the same for the other. Same is said for the admissions counselors who I lead. In a typical day, I have approx. 3 student interviews, 2 management meetings, 3-5 employee meetings, several reports to manage, and tons of emails and calls to return. Everyday is a learning – more... experience in one way or another. The management team is one of the best that I've ever worked for. Co-workers are student driven and a close group which makes the department a second family. The hardest part of my job is having to give students bad news on acceptance into the college or other bad news which will prevent them from pursuing their dreams. The most enjoyable part is seeing the students who thought they didn't have a chance get a chance and excel in the programs and saying thank you for guiding me with tears in their eyes. – less

The graphic design course prepares you with the basic requirements to enter the graphic design field.

Great opportunity to help individuals achieve their dreams and guide them through the process. Work in a great team environment which stive on great ethics and morals. Looking for an opportunity to work closer to home because I am not involved with my children with these hours and location. Great experience though otherwise and making the most out of – more... my situation. – less

Long stressfull days,High pressure,Great for single individuals.
