Pros

There are "some" really great people who care about students. And, it's a great place to get some experience in the level higher than what you are actually qualified to perform. The Online Campus President is fantastic. He understands leadership and is a fantastic mentor.

Cons

Short term thinking. There is very little strategy and they don't give any one strategy enough time to actually work. Apathy. The vast majority of employees are apathetic towards their jobs and are completely disengaged; regardless of what the engagement survey says. Lack of integrity. Senior leadership doesn't understand the concept of accountability. You will be blamed for doing what they've told you to do. Also, campus presidents and VPs spend a great deal of time trying to gain advantage and pointing fingers at each other and other department heads. Bias. Be extremely careful with Human Resources. Make friends with the Director otherwise you will be targeted. People. They don't care about you. You will be paid significantly less than what you are worth. Find a job some where you can actually grow and succeed.

Pros

Sincere attempts to create friendly workplace atmosphere, friendly coworkers, opportunities to learn (on the job, natch), opportunities to advance. I can recommend it if you know what you're getting into, and have an exit plan from the start.

Cons

Bad location (Menomonee falls) given young workforce. Extremely poor executive level decision making and communication. Takes way too long to get approval for even small decisions

Pros

Some good employees and management Work from home was good while it lasted, (for about a month) Fun Admissions Retreat- They actually had the meeting in Milwaukee, WI one year. (Sarcasm). Good time to meet every Advisor for the Univ in person.

Cons

No growth opportunities- Hired as an Admissions Advisor, stuck as an Admissions Advisor, unless you're lucky enough to move laterally as an EC- but be careful. Don't let them force you to do two jobs while being paid for one. Awful schedule/hours You're not even as good as your last start. All they want to know is what you can do for them NOW Bad schedule- If you're scheduled to work on a Sunday, your hours are: 1030-7. who wants to wrk those hours on a Sunday?!?! Mgmt will ALWAYS find something you're not doing well enough. If you have a good start, you're low on transfers. If you're high on transfers, you're low on interviews and your transfer to interview held conversation ratio is too low. No such thing as a, "perfect interview", or score- Mgmt will rate you lower scorewise and nitpick what you didn't do well enough on an interview. Cheap company. Couldn't even spring for coffee stirrers. Mgmt favors tenured employees. There were certain employees who were there for wayyyy too long, but bc they, "started" the office w/the DOA, they were still employed. It didn't matter that they said controversial things OUT LOUD. Seemed like they had the freedom to say whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, w/no consequences. How does that promote a good culture?!?! Good employees left, bad ones stayed. Useless weekly WIG meetings- They were a waste of time.
