Pros

Higher than average wages.

Cons

Narrow minded and untrained management. I witnessed management being disrespectful to students many times and being extremely rude to them. Some management is terrible, mistrusting, homophobic and bigoted. The owners who live in TN made the wood office doors nearly all glass doors because they dont trust staff in their own offices and that way staff can't have privacy even behind closed doors. Don't take it personally. The whole place is that way. Mismanagement is putting it kindly. Students were abused verbally and lied to about the competition in surrounding area (with other schools) so that students wouldn't enroll there. Students told me they were dismissed when they asked questions, although they were told different reasons. It was a horrible place to work, a nightmare from day one when my boss began critiquing what other staff members were wearing, putting them down, talking badly about staff members. Juvenile inappropriate behavior from managment.

Pros

Having meaningful conversations with students and being able to help them take steps toward furthering their careers. When the role focuses on student interaction, it can feel rewarding and impactful.

Cons

My experience working here has been extremely difficult due to micromanagement, inconsistent training, and a highly high-pressure environment. Despite reaching strong enrollment numbers, I experienced frequent write-ups. After going through an HR accommodation process, I felt that my performance was more heavily scrutinized, and I continued to receive write-ups following that period. Training was poor and did not adequately prepare employees for all processes and scenarios, yet there is still an expectation that you will know how to handle every situation. The role is heavily micromanaged, down to minute-by-minute activity, including strict monitoring of breaks and bathroom usage. The workload is extremely demanding, requiring over 150 calls, voicemails, and texts per day, along with managing emails and meetings throughout the day. There is very little time to properly organize tasks or work efficiently. The environment is very controlled and closely monitored. Employees are expected to remain at their desks except during breaks, while managers appear to have more flexibility in their day-to-day behavior. This contributed to the environment feeling highly critical and demoralizing at times. Overall, the standards often felt unachievable given the lack of training and structure provided. There is a strong focus on enrollment numbers over employee well-being, and I believe there is significant room for improvement in training, workload expectations, and workplace culture.
