Pros

Colleagues - Many of them truly love the institution, believe in the mission and care about the students.

Cons

Upper Management - The leaders of the institution have panicked and made many drastic changes. People without admissions or enrollment experience are running the institution. Leadership hired people with for-profit backgrounds who are treating education as if it was a car sales job. It went from recruiting students to the college to "changing" their minds. In addition, it is now like a telemarketing/ car sales position instead of a counseling role. Remember it is a nonprofit institution, not a "sales" job. Job stability - many colleagues quit right away and the turnover is unbelievable. Colleagues who work there fear for their jobs, but don't say a word. Hopefully human resources will catch on as more employees resign. Pay - unreasonable pay for the amount of expected work Miscellanous - If you want to be part of place where you fear for your job - this is the right place to go.
