Pros

In my years at Learning House, I met lots of awesome people and made some really good friends.

Cons

Overwork - I worked 60 hours a week most of the time. When I brought up to my manager, in my weekly check-in, I was told different things: (1) that I shouldn't be working that long and then later (2) that I obviously didn't manage my priorities correctly because it shouldn't take me that long to do what I was being asked. Asking mission-critical questions of the management of your team, can get you conflicting answers given to you and you could be given answer A by the manager only to have your team member given a completely different answer to the same question. Those two answers can then be disputed by the actual client your team is working for when you change what you are doing to fit what your manager - who is also supposed to be working with the client to get higher level requirements - has told you. If you question your higher ups for any reason, you can get marked for dismissal and there's nothing you can do. It doesn't matter who you go to - HR, management higher on the totem pole, etc. They say they want to help you grow but, when you ask about opportunities to grow, you're not given the ability to research those other paths (see overworked comment above) and when you note this in your (required) comments section on your review, you are then put on disciplinary action because you aren't giving your current job your entire focus.

Pros

The people, as far as co-workers go, are exceptional - talented, friendly, and dedicated individuals. Travel is a plus (when and only if you move into middle to upper management). Communication is improving between departments, which allows for growth and learning across the board. VP of enrollment is very involved and is invested in employees' well being. If sales is your thing, you can certainly move rather quickly.

Cons

The further you move up, the less direction you are given - which is ironic as you are expected to perform in a very specific way. Job descriptions stop after your initial promotion, unless this is something that has changed. Normal office politics, have to learn how to play "the game." Fear is used to motivate tho actually demotivates ethical, good employees. Employees are talked about behind closed doors as if they cannot be trusted or are children. Computer system is just awful and makes Counselors day to day juggle very difficult to maintain with an appropriate or expected amount of stress. Counselors are not actual counselors, this is a heavy sales/recruiting position - not paid enough compared to other campus schools around town though these schools are not considered their competion, according to HR (member of which is unapologetic for company flaws). Company is constantly signing new accounts that are not ready to be launched with materials not being completed and staffing levels not being properly maintained.
