Pros

If you're a Chief Officer you have good job security until the company goes out of business.

Cons

This for profit company takes advantage of poor, uneducated and foreign teenagers with misleading marketing. The leadership takes responsibility for other people's successes and blames everyone else for their failure. They yell at scream at people right in the middle of the office and online. All work assignments and promotions are based on favoritism. If you're not in the "in-crowd," your only job is to keep your head down and your mouth shut unless you're telling your boss they're smart. Your boss will micromanage everything you do and still SCREAM at you when they change their mind about how you should have done it. Your boss will want you to do their job for them and judge you based on if you've done it or not. Because the company is in trouble and all the good employees have been leaving fast this year, there are constant witch hunts to find out who's loyal and who's not. You're mostly trying to make your boss think you like them so that you don't get included in the next round of layoffs that happen a couple times a year. It is basically just hell.

Pros

Great staff and great managers, yearly retreat to Washington DC, lots of training, in theory a great program for students, good benefits (health insurance especially), work at home options

Cons

Start up that...well, didnt start up. I was in admissions and admissions is bare bones. It would be great for students to be in a program where they attend community college for two years, be an honors student and then move on to their dream school with only two years to go. In actuality...that's not what happened. The company did not have concrete contracts with a lot of schools and a lot of students ended up not having credits transfer. Also, this is a for profit organization. The fee to be in the program was more than the tuition at the community college sometimes. Mandatory Overtime. Overall, I loved this company until I discovered we were not meeting the student's needs. I'm all about the students and it hurt to hear their credits wouldn't transfer when we told them for two years that they would-and they payed extra for that guarantee. In theory, it's an excellent idea. But the business model just didn't work as it was set up. I think this CAN and SHOULD work, but maybe....non-profit??
