Pros

- Remote work - Supporting students can be rewarding

Cons

- Leadership feels disconnected from the day to day reality of the role. - They ask for feedback, but nothing changes. - Workload keeps increasing but pay and support don't follow. - Advising absorbs many gaps from other depts. - Accountability is limited, issues get passed around. - High pressure, constant scrutiny. - Disorganized processes and poor communication. - Very strong emphasis on enrollment and metrics but doesn't translate to student success. - Burnout is common and people don't stay.

Pros

Team centric, fast paced, enjoyed talking with prospects

Cons

Constantly monitored, calls reviewed daily or weekly with manager and metrics matter. Must keep call volume, conversation time and enrollment numbers. Hard to enjoy vacation as you still have to make your numbers.
