Pros

Matrix was amazing, OT available, opportunities although it's best if you become friendly with managers - education, experience, ethics and ability get you no where. If you sell you'll be liked.

Cons

selling of overpriced education to those who must max out their entire grants and loans and go on a payment plan, focus on number of students you get through the first class versus through to education, they'll hire and fire you, just had another round of mass layoffs but continue to hire for the same positions they are letting go. Worked there for a handful of years and if you are ethical, compliant and follow the rules and have a soul you will do well enough to get by.

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.
