Pros

You have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students. Students rely on LES to give them a quality education that gives them the tools they need to succeed in the work force.

Cons

The competence of senior level managers is lacking. There are a couple who are doing a great job, and there are some who only have their positions because of seniority. A critical evaluation should be made of employees at all levels. If you are unable to do your job because of incompetence or lack of interest, it should be irrelevant how long you have been with the company.

Pros

I learned a lot here — both positive experiences and serious red flags. I enjoyed the enrollment cycle, working with families, and having space to contribute ideas. Unfortunately, the leadership and culture at this location overshadowed those positives.

Cons

No room for growth. This office has experienced unusually high turnover (around 60 to 70+ staff changes in two years in what is typically a low-turnover industry). The person who hired me was terminated before I started, and others resigned shortly after. Training is inconsistent, rushed, and largely self-directed. Promises of promotion or growth are rarely fulfilled. Leadership fosters a hostile environment. Employees are openly warned to “watch out” for certain individuals, which I later found to be true. Cameras are used less for security and more for micromanagement, down to monitoring bathroom breaks. Bullying and intimidation are tolerated and sometimes perpetuated by management. Rather than addressing corporate concerns with reflection or accountability, staff are abruptly terminated without notice, PIPs, or meaningful feedback. Students also feel the effects — their challenges are often ignored or shifted back onto them, despite repeated discussions about retention and support. Reps are discouraged from addressing student concerns meaningfully, which undermines trust and outcomes. If you choose to work here, you will need to document everything, be extremely strong in sales and admissions that its undeniable, and expect little in terms of support, growth, or stability. This environment is mentally draining and unsustainable due to leadership practices.
