Pros

There used to be a decent starting wage.

Cons

The lack of professionalism displayed by employees and managers alike is staggering. I have witnessed profanities spewed, drinking on the job, and even twerking in morning meetings. Most representatives barely have a high school education and have little to no corporate experience, but this is possibly intentional so that they can more easily relate to the poorly educated student body. Used car sales tactics emotional manipulation are employed to dupe desperate, impressionable, single mothers into incurring tens of thousands of dollars in debt to receive training for positions that pay little over minimum wage and usually do not even require more than a high school diploma.

Pros

Overtime available, when need it

Cons

The work environment was highly scripted, making it difficult to build genuine rapport with prospective students. Employees were expected to follow approved scripts very closely, and even small deviations could be treated as compliance issues. At the same time, compliance expectations were not always clearly communicated, which created unnecessary stress. Management felt overly focused on micromanagement, contributing to a high-pressure work environment. During my time there, I also heard a prospective student comment on what they perceived as a lack of diversity within the organization, which stood out to me. Overall, I found the culture stressful and inflexible. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this employer to those looking for a supportive workplace with clear expectations and the flexibility to communicate authentically.
