Pros

Pay is decent. and that is about it, overtime available. The positive review above was most likely written by management or by one of the Admissions Reps for Nursing program. The Nursing Reps are treated like gold.

Cons

Toxic work environment, employment is conditional on meeting unrealistic monthly enrollment goals and as a result, high turnover. Management view employees as disposable and will fire you even though you generated millions of dollars in revenue for the college.

Pros

None unless you enjoy being underpaid, undervalued, and overworked

Cons

Annual raises are based on cost of living, not dedication, tenure, or job performance, so maximum is 30¢ Instructors genuinely care about student success but are overwhelmed by pressure from upper management to focus more on student attendance, rather than quality education for students who take their education seriously. Instructors are often encouraged to falsify grades and attendance in order to continue to collect Federal funding. Management is the main source of office gossip and tension among other faculty. Faculty is frequently told they're disposable. Instructors are forced to work from home, without pay, as they are only given 1 hour to prep and grade assignments for 3-5 classes. No support from management/corporate when students "cuss out" or otherwise disrespect teaching faculty. The only feedback teaching staff receives from management/corporate is negative. Accolades are reserved only the for admissions department, as they are viewed as the "money makers" for enrolling students, many of whom feel pressured into signing up regardless of readiness or ability.

Pros

Better than industry standard pay; Your own office; Helpful co-workers

Cons

Hyper-defensive & toxic upper management; No training or development; Admissions and marketing leadership is non-existent since they were fired or left; If you don't enroll and start the number of students management specifies two 5-week starts in a row, you're fired. *That last point sounded easy to me when I signed on here, since I've always been successful at admissions. Make no mistake, the culture this policy creates is demoralizing, and without a director or someone running the marketing department, get ready to lose in a profound way... along with the school itself.
