Pros

Not a long drive from home which means more time with my family and for working on the yard with them and in the garden. Staff is nice.

Cons

Lead admissions guy is like a used car salesman, but the consultant is even worse by bringing religion into the discussion and yet lying right to students' faces. Changes at the whim of upper management, including changes to student programs--staff told to lie to students about the reason for the changes. Saturday hours--informed of these after already employed. Paid once a month. 401(k) is an expensive joke. If you enroll in it, you have to pay part of the annual fee to maintain it. Currently with about 10 participants, that means you have to pay $450 as your part of the bill each year. Students are not given copies of their programs--which means program content can be changed at any time without their knowledge. Go to a real school, not here!

Pros

Only work here if you are unemployed and absolutely can't find anything else!

Cons

Probably going to go under! Millions of dollars of fines from the government. Now they are starting an IT boot camp and the software guy is so unorganized and is so old school. Doesn't have an understanding of how to interact with businesses and IT people. What a mess!

Poor Upper Management

Pros

Co-workers generally nice to one another. Other than that, not much to report.

Cons

Horrendous upper management. No structure. Simply ripping off students of their money. No sympathy or genuine concern for the education or well being of students. Many, if not all, student requests and emails fell on deaf ears. Cold atmosphere with no room for growth. No reviews, therefore you never know where you stand. Upper management consistently makes poor decisions typically based on no concrete information. Unfair and unkind to the average worker. Nearly all employees are in and out within a six month span. Closed 3 of 4 campuses within the past year or so.
