Pros

Zero. Nothing there is no value to working at this education sink hole. I feel badly for anyone that is deceived by the con artisty of the school.

Cons

Management has absolutely NO clue. Favoritism runs rampited. This school is the negative armpit of what is wrong with for profit education. The owner and adms make 100k+ Students will be strapped with 150k worth of loans! Outrageous!!

Pros

There are certainly some good, hard-working people here. The students, staff and faculty are pros. You bond together with good coworkers and then you support each other through the horrible, hypocritical management until you get through and support each other after you are all happily gone. I have made life-long friends because difficult experiences tend to bond good people together. The location is good. Also, it appears that management has honed their skills in writing fake 5 star reviews that suddenly appear after a worker resigns that say exactly the opposite of what was written. There is a lot of turnover, so management gets a lot of practice writing these fake reviews that are so unbelievable anyway. “Go, team”!

Cons

This place puts on a great show when they hire you and pretend that they are all about the students. This is absolutely untrue. Students only matter while they are being aggressively recruited or when they are being signed up for predatory loans. Profit and numbers rule here and students who barely speak English are enrolled to make quotas. Don’t be fooled, this is a business above all else. There is very high turnover here and as soon as you start the façade falls away and you realize you are being disrespected daily in a sweat shop like atmosphere. Extremely long days that go on and on with no break in sight. You then have to deal with crazy demands of your time and energy while you look for your next job! Most people do not last more than six months to a year. You will be disrespected and lied to and in the end when you resign or get fired, you cannot even use this place as a reference. This is a horrible place to work and I am happy to give this advice! I wish I was warned, I had serious PTsd after my tour here. I would advise that you do a search on LinkedIn on former employees and ask them to share their thoughts.

Pros

Good rapport with one Dean. The school has plenty of awards etc. and it is in a good location in south Florida.

Cons

This is a diploma mill. The management team is disorganized and demeaning to employees. This school has a bad reputation for using strong arm tactics to keep up enrollment.
