Great culture, wonderful people but questionable for-profit organization - Admissions Counselor Ashford University Employee Review

The best university to work for And I have worked for several. It treats the instructors equally as they do would a professor.

There is some pressure to make sure that the students learn, but that is the job anyway so it goes with it

Online, so you can work anywhere. Also, it's how I learned to teach online, so the training is/was pretty good.

Many. 1. The pay is ridiculously low (I was at the higher end at $22.13 per hour for approximately $1700 per five week course.). Every year more and more is asked of Associate Faculty, but there are no plans to raise pay. I was there for 12 years and started out at about $1500 per course. 2. You are micromanaged. It truly is a dead end job. 3. Many of the students are there to collect the financial aid. More than once, I was asked to give a student an incomplete so they wouldn't lose their housing. 4. Upper management has no idea about how the school actually operates.
