South University reviews

Title IV regulations state that you can no longer monetarily incentivize admissions staff in recruitment for number of starts. However, the company constantly threatened jobs if numbers were not hit. At one point management wanted all of admissions put on a performance plan even though most of the staff worked very hard. Very hostile work environment from the corporate leadership. I witnessed ridiculing, name calling, degredating emails, constant threats about my job and other's jobs, humiliation, micro-management, and ultimately firing admissions staff for not hitting their numbers. This is a college that primarily cares about profit and secondarily about education.

Employees are pressured to encourage students to take out the maximum amount of student loans, often targeting individuals from underserved backgrounds. The role requires selling a high-cost program (approximately $92,000) with low graduation outcomes, and failure to consistently meet aggressive enrollment expectations can result in termination for performance-related reasons.
