Pros

Nice buildings and equipment (thank you Studnet money )

Cons

Horrible work environment. Leadership (Deans to VPs to the chancellor) are greedy, unrealistic, and only interested in adding to the South College brand. Health programs in particular are sad. They accept students who are not prepared for degree health positions. Many students will go to South because they have no other option - then pay a ridiculous amount of money to have a 50/50 or less chance of being successful. There is an abuse of power from admissions to how faculty members are treated. Workload is unrealistic and will never be enough. Additionally please hope that you never have to deal with Human Resources. They are a nightmare. There is no policy in place for faculty to take off time expect on breaks and even on breaks you are to be available. This means calling in while you’re on a cruise for a meeting scheduled in the middle of break. And you better hope you or a family member isn’t sick or dying- no pay for you!! There is no work life balance -most people in do not last more than a year in any position. All campuses are run by a South family member or friend. That says everything.

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.
