Pros

Such a fun, awesome company! I recommend every department excluding admissions. My ultimate goal was to work my way up in the company, but admissions is a trap and there is absolutely no upward mobility.

Cons

The position is not challenging enough and the upward mobility is not enticing. The only task is to make cold calls, which is easy...but it is basically a sales position that is not commission based. So if you're a really good salesman you're going to feel cheated when everyone else gets treated the same as you. In addition, the hiring manager completely lied about the details of the position so it wasn't a good start overall.

Pros

Great staff and great managers, yearly retreat to Washington DC, lots of training, in theory a great program for students, good benefits (health insurance especially), work at home options

Cons

Start up that...well, didnt start up. I was in admissions and admissions is bare bones. It would be great for students to be in a program where they attend community college for two years, be an honors student and then move on to their dream school with only two years to go. In actuality...that's not what happened. The company did not have concrete contracts with a lot of schools and a lot of students ended up not having credits transfer. Also, this is a for profit organization. The fee to be in the program was more than the tuition at the community college sometimes. Mandatory Overtime. Overall, I loved this company until I discovered we were not meeting the student's needs. I'm all about the students and it hurt to hear their credits wouldn't transfer when we told them for two years that they would-and they payed extra for that guarantee. In theory, it's an excellent idea. But the business model just didn't work as it was set up. I think this CAN and SHOULD work, but maybe....non-profit??
