Pros

Some staff care and some can teach well

Cons

Plenty of staff are rude, condescending, and are more concerned about arguing and nit picking than student success or wellbeing. Some cannot instruct a class to save their lives. High turn over

Pros

Nothing pro about this school

Cons

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.
