Pros

The company pays above what other companies do for most positions.

Cons

- Mis-management all the way from the top to the bottom. - The claim is that the company 'helps students'. Ultimately, they've built up a tremendous catalog of websites and 'own' the student loans area for websites. As they get prospective and current students to request information for student loans/etc., they then sell that information to third parties who will then market their products. - They don't really treat non-management very well and there's not much room to move up in the company. The employees in power are content with their large paychecks and won't be leaving anytime soon. - Not innovative - don't expect to work on anything cutting edge. What makes the money for them is what's worked for years. They won't be changing that strategy anytime soon (although, can't blame them for that). - High turnover

Pros

Creative environment for people interested in learning online marketing and SEO. They are focused on helping students get into college. Yes, they make money by selling advertising, but it funds other less profitable venture like the great scholarship search site they built.

Cons

Small growing company that is changing fast. Not for people who want a boring job with little change or growth. In short, if you are faint of heart, find a safe job at a big company. If you want challenges, work at Edvisors.
