Pros

A job is a pro, I guess. Getting a paycheck when you really need it is a pro. There is not much else here to be happy about. This is the worse place I EVER worked, seriously.

Cons

Horrible disrespectful ‘culture’ here. They lie to you before you take a position, be warned! There is absolutely no life-work balance. The norm is for everyone to put in very long hours just to prove their loyalty or something. It is actually required for everyone to work over 55 hours a week and they monitor you with a time clock. There is really no reason for this, but the management has no idea what they are doing. Like I said, the management is dangerously incompetent! Everything is done last minute and in an emergency, which is why you have to work very long hours and you even have to work on holidays and on weekends. The ‘University’ is really a diploma mill and the school is a total joke. It is very overpriced, but the students do not get their money’s worth. The management and the president make huge salaries and then they will never even buy needed office supplies because they claim there is no budget. All of the peons working here are doing the jobs of at least 4 people. Don’t let that be you if you can help it! The management will never be satisfied and the turnover mentioned in other reviews is extremely high!

Pros

The cons outweigh the pros so much that there isn't much point in listing any. The location is convenient and there is a cool banyan tree in the parking lot. If you have no regard for the current state of the national post-secondary education system AND you have ethics with no boundaries when it comes to cheating students out of their future earnings, then this might be a great place for you.

Cons

The school is run by greedy, socoipathic, paranoid control freaks who will do everything they can to make you push the boundaries of your ethics to their limits... and beyond. There is nothing, NOTHING more important to them than getting the next enrollment. Please be aware that the positive reviews on here are FAKE. I worked there for nearly a decade and can assure you that the negative reviews are completely honest... and not those of people with poor work ethic, as stated in one of the positive reviews. Ignore the false positives! Run away as fast as you can.

The worst experience of my professional career.

Pros

Had a nice starting salary and was close to residency. The campus is in a nice location.

Cons

This is the worst company to work for. Please save yourself the weeks or months it will take to figure this out. Worst turnover rate (my position has had at least 3 people since). Staff are miserable, terrible benefits, zero professionalism and ethics. One of them works at my current employer and another was a interview candidate. Both had the same awful experience with the Boca Raton campus.
