Pros

For the most part, I like most my coworkers and majority of the leadership team. Majority of the time they are pretty understanding if I call out. You are granted 10 days of paid vacation after you hit the 3 month mark. They also order lunch for us every other week. If you truly want to improve, leadership will help you. You won’t be micromanaged IF you prove your worth. Don’t get it twisted, this is a SALES job, not an administrative job. And the majority of the people that give negative reviews for the Admissions Counselor position do so because they sucked at sales and got fired or quit because they sucked at sales.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. I’ve been here less than a year and 80% of the department quit within the small time I’ve been here. The director likes to “micro-bully” meaning if she thinks you are not productive she will micromanage you to the point of you quitting. Even IF you are a top performing employee, there is virtually no room for growth or raises unless you are one of the director’s goody-goodys. Saw ACs with the highest metrics get denied raises even when they were the top performers in the department. Constant changes that are complete wastes of time and hindrances to productivity. The new enrollment site is so bad that it won’t allow you to process applications, payments, and submit documents correctly causing you to do double the work because it was never beta tested and launched with zero quality control. Too many pointless meetings.
