Pros

The pros were a good benefits package and reasonable salary for my first job out of college. Tuition benefits were the only reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

The job can become extremely stressful. The workload revolves around an 8 week schedule of classes, with more stress in the weeks right before classes start to register as many students as possible for classes. The job can be miserable unless you enroll a large number of students which makes the managers like you. There is huge pressure to admit and enroll a large number of students. The work schedule was not at all conducive to work/life balance.

Pros

The ALP program was a valuable leadership and professional development experience. I enjoyed connecting with colleagues across the organization, learning from different perspectives, and gaining practical takeaways I could apply in my role. The coaching sessions were especially helpful for reflecting on the content and discussing how to put the learning into practice.

Cons

The six-month program does require a meaningful time commitment, with three-hour content sessions followed by one-hour coaching sessions. At times, balancing the sessions with day-to-day responsibilities can be challenging, so having a dedicated time to fully engage in the program is important.
