Connecticut. Big promises and innuendos when hired; all downhill after that. - Teacher Lincoln Tech Employee Review

Pros

Students are grateful when teachers take care that they are learning. The sincerely motivated students inspire me as an educator to be there for them. Some teachers are very talented.

Cons

Management will lie about anything to save themselves from their deceitful behaviors. The Shelton Campus needs to install an automatic revolving door necessary to accommodate their high employee turnover. The big joke among non-managment personnel is that employees keep an empty 'Staples Box' close for when their turn comes as so many before them. Non-management employees are expected to carry on the facade that educating students is important to the company. The student retention rate is abominable. Most students realize too late the mistake they made in signing up to attend this school. Realizing how much debt they have accumulated in reading the small print from all the paperwork they signed in the beginning (the small percentage who are paying to attend) while not learning enough to compensate. Anyone who is honest or the least bit gullible will end up with a negative experience. Talented employees find it difficult to continue the charade.

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.
