Pros

Nothing, nada, zip, zilch, not a one

Cons

I've been adjuncting for a good 20 years now for a wide variety of colleges and universities and this place is THE worst. First, you'll be lucky if your classes have more than a couple of students in them. Then you'll spend 8 weeks with those two students and making $100/student even if you have a Ph.D. and that pay is spread out over several paychecks. I have extra federal taxes taken out of my paychecks, so there were times where I didn't even get a paycheck, because the gross was so low. Second, they act like you are a full-time employee making you attend mandatory day-time (9-5) meetings. Third, my last paycheck was delayed by over a week due to a "mistake" in their system. ....and when I dared to question them about it, they fired me. Can you say Civil Rights violation (retaliation)? Avoid like the plague. It's not worth the amount of time they expect you to put in for the pay you may or may not receive.

Pros

None. Trident was acquired by Perdoceo education 5 years ago. Nothing like it used to be. They use employees, both full and adjuncts, show extreme unprofessional behavior, complete lack of mature leadership and pass students at all costs.

Cons

Too many to list. See the reviews for Perdoceo (used to be failed career education corporation, they tried to change names to dodge the poor reputation from all the lawsuits)
