Pros

Fellow employees a joy to work with

Cons

Administration uses "downsizing" (firing you!) as a way to fund new programs, cover themselves when they mess up, pump up financial numbers. No one is safe from their ax. If you work there now, watch your back. Be especially careful if you have been promoted ... it makes their numbers look good just before you are fired. No one will help you because they will be fired for speaking up.

Pros

Movement to switch teaching locations as an instructor. Friendly co-workers.

Cons

No movement for corporate employees, no investment with employees, turnover is extremely high, lack of training, Executive Directors seem loss at campuses. Poor pay and over worked. I'm constantly covering for instructors because other instructors leave mid-term. Lots of Student complaints.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office building in Irvine and campuses are well laid out. Some program directors care about diversity and safety. Campus offers free clinics to low income communities. Good career growth for employees who are paid on the low end to move up to "director" level. Easy to move up since there is high turnover and layoffs once a year.

Cons

Management practices are unfair. HR changes are not announced. Policies are unclear and vague. Hire family and friends who do not qualify - politically charged. Company avoids paying overtime by putting employees in exempt positions. Lack of professional development. Employees are not recognized for contribution except for the few "chosen ones."
