Pros

- Great trainers - Competitive benefits - Company supplied equipment

Cons

- Unrealistic expectations - Immoral and deceptive business practices (you are not helping prospective students by “getting to know them” then weaponizing their life goals to convince them to commit to a $30,000 mostly unusable diploma/degree) - Company equipment was dirty, smelled horrible, and they needed to send out new equipment - Suspiciously aggressive sales tactics including calling prospective students up to 8 times a day (regardless of how nice or respectful your admissions representatives are this is WRONG) - Admissions reps are trained to not allow prospective students to hang up during the initial call, this includes us being told if a student is at a doctors appointment we should “offer to stay on the phone with them and standby while they wait” so we don’t lose the sale. This is very sketchy and completely uncalled for.

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.
