Pros

Great benefits-Ok pay Helping students -no need to upscale programs Leave Fridays early Easy presenting program outcomes and regulations from power point Minimum 50 calls outbound but inbound calls always come in Holidays Vacation and Time off is excellent

Cons

No teamwork-no commission but everyone acts like you get paid for each student Favoritism is present Lack of communication with colleagues- work moral is very low everyone complains about their job and director of admissions No proper training is given-high expectations from shadowing others work Scrutinized-phone calls recorded-compliance is ridiculous the individual is never consistent with grading They expect you to enroll students left and right by filtering students Program is ridicuoulsy expensive Low NCLEX scores Parking is horrible for both staff and students

Negative Energy, Work Environment: Bad to Worse

Anonymous employee

Pros

There are some faculty and professors here who genuinely care about the students and their success. The passion they have for the work they do is refreshing as the majority of the work environment is very negative. This could be a good place to work until you're able to find something better. In terms of flexibility: depending on the department you're in, there is some room for flexibility if you're a part time employee. They have revised their policy on yearly reviews so now the reviews are coming in on time. The company is growing.

Cons

At the Orange County campus numerous factors work together to create a negative working environment. The current environment lends itself to name calling, yelling and forms of discrimination. If you're considering a job here, the work environment can be very hostile so a thick skin is necessary. The university runs understaffed so people are being overworked. In their effort to try and go "above and beyond" great employees attempt to take on extra projects to help with the work load. However, those extra jobs become expectations so the good employees suddenly find themselves overworked. There is very little recognition for a job well done so motivate yourself in other ways that way you don't feel burned out. The upper management here can be hateful and disrespectful toward each other and this mentality trickles down all the way through the ranks at West Coast. Prideful leadership stands in the way of this promising company and its employees. Bottom line: I always treat management with respect but I don't have respect for them as leaders. I would gently encourage you to find something different in terms of employment. West Coast will not be a place to grow professionally or monetarily. If you are a hard worker with a high regard for integrity you deserve better than what West Coast can offer you. If you need a job to hold you over until your next opportunity--then maybe this place will work just fine.
