Pros

Free education, lifelong friendships , The training I recieved was the best however when I left efforts to coach and train had endedq

Cons

I jumped ship last year as I witnessed every positive that had attracted me to KU become a negative. Management has made many unhealthy decisions that have depleted the organization of quality people. When you witness the best leaders and advisors leaving for other companies you know something is wrong. Many advisors have inflated salaries and earn even triple of what newer employees make even if the newer employee out performs. The upside down salaries are known by all and is very demoralizing. Rules and policies change weekly and then change again. People are scared and confused of what happens next and most are seeking employment and searching for other jobs. All it takes is to visit the campus and see the empty parking lot and see rows of empty desks to know that this is not a growing organization. A very , very sad situation because this once was a thriving, happy environment full of loyal and happy advisors.

Pros

High salaries for those who've been in the business/company for 5+ yrs (not so much for new employees). Great benefits package compared to the competition.

Cons

Easily replaceable by others who will work for far less $ and that point is driven home daily. KU used to be a great place to work. Now, only the salary and benefits package are keeping me here. It went from a university to a sweatshop. Our goals are constantly increasing, but our salaries are stagnant. Favoritism and unequal opportunities abound, but everyone on a team has the same goal. So it doesn't matter if one advisor gets 20 good leads and another gets 2, you both have to have 20 enrollments to keep your job. We're not allowed to drum up our own business so you better hope you can take enough to get by (from those who are fed and aren't able to follow up like they should). There is enough business at the table for everyone to eat, but some are given steak while others get beans. Why can't we all have hamburgers?
