Pros

Nothing pro about this school

Cons

Employees are pressured to encourage students to take out the maximum amount of student loans, often targeting individuals from underserved backgrounds. The role requires selling a high-cost program (approximately $92,000) with low graduation outcomes, and failure to consistently meet aggressive enrollment expectations can result in termination for performance-related reasons.

Pros

Pay was within industry standards for my position (although on the low end). I met some awesome people, they just weren't around for long (see cons).

Cons

No training provided at all. Very high turnover. The amount of people who left or were fired during my time there was unbelievable. I knew that this was an issue with South, but did not know that it would be this bad. This turnover prevented the creation of meaningful connections with others. They do not always hire the most qualified people. Management is unhelpful and often distant. During my stint I had 5 different supervisors. My first supervisor was by far the best, but this person was suddenly fired or resigned. I believe that this is a problem from the top down. In my opinion supervisors do not get help or get unreasonable expectations from their supervisors and this filters down to others. Money is always tight and we are often unable to get what we need. Cross departmental communication is rare. Culture of fear exists. Employees are terminated seemingly for vague reasons and sometimes not even given details of why they were terminated or given a chance to defend themselves. Do not work here.
