Pros

It is barely better than being unemployed. This job is the equivalent to working at a Burger Barn or any job at the mall.

Cons

Everything. The environment, the pay, the location, the administration, the corporate culture and the corporate staff. This place is run like a high school: cliques, nepotism, retaliation and micro management. Administration constantly changes and so do all the rules. Major decisions are based on emotions and mood swings instead of feasibility or rationale. Employees are consistently mistreated, overworked and verbally abused. Preference is given to male employees while female staffers get walked over and underpaid. Students are set up to fail too and their concerns are ignored. The bar is lowered to let them in and then the boom is lowered when they get in-- no one at ECPI is allowed to care. Education department gets kicks out of seeing students struggle and fail. Only concern is making numbers-- all this while executive management does absolutely NOTHING. Except of course, count the money rolling in.

Pros

Select coworkers and departmental peers were fantastic to work with, highly collaborative, resilient, and dedicated professionals doing their best under difficult circumstances. The core mission of supporting adult learners is incredibly fulfilling.

Cons

The organizational culture at corporate headquarters is highly political and intensely protective of the status quo. There is a pervasive tendency among long-term staff to actively resist modernization or the adoption of standard industry practices. Outdated, inefficient processes are deliberately preserved to safeguard individual roles, even when those workflows directly degrade the student experience. Furthermore, executive leadership focuses heavily on internal politics, insular dynamics, and hyper-monitoring granular KPIs rather than student outcomes. This has created a highly reactive and psychologically unsafe environment characterized by a systemic rejection of external expertise. Outside talent recruited to modernize operations is regularly alienated, targeted, or terminated if they do not completely file and rank within the insular corporate hierarchy. Talented professionals who champion necessary compliance or operational updates face retaliatory pushback from senior management, resulting in a notably high turnover rate among external hires. Compensation is also far less competitive for the level of administrative strain expected.
