Full Sail University Reviews in Orlando, FL Area

Former Employee – worked at Full Sail University part-time for less than a year

Pros – For my position I was able to set my own hours, which was very nice for me. Also, my boss was very accommodating.

Cons – As a peer tutor, you can only help students who request the assistance of a tutor. At times you may have 1 or 2 students and sometimes you won't have any students.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Full Sail University full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Upward mobility in company is quite easy if you totally agree with management.

Cons – Upper management is totally unprofessional to the subordinates. The audacity of the VP when employee was injured and hospiatlized, the first question upon noticed was who is going to finish the work.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop replying raised issues/comments with "if they do not like it, they can quit".

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Full Sail University as an intern for less than a year

Pros – This is one of the best places to get a "real-world" education. There are deadlines, creative projects and the curriculum is very well suited for the degree. Students are taught the skills they need to be competitive in the job marketplace, and it is their own motivation that decides their success after graduation. An education can do only so much for some individuals.

Cons – Full Sail University lets their students down by not having one on one sessions with the students upon enrollment. They are mass orientated and very rarely get to sit down one on one with a counselor after orientation. Of course there are opportunities for the student to set up these meetings, but the FAO and BO should take it upon THEMSELVES to contact students and inform them of how the financial schedule will go and what to expect. Also, Full Sail's Business Office tends to give vacations to those employed who are in charge of student finances. For example, the student receives a living expense check to pay for room and board; The faculty member/ employee in charge of signing and distributing these checks, in my experience, has efficiency issues, is never on time and is not in the office on the day(s) needed for them to get the students the checks that they desperately need. There is no need for these students to have to go to class for 40 hours a week and have to be stressed about late rent payments on top of it. Full Sail seems to be perfectly ON TIME with TAKING MONEY but is ALWAYS LATE issuing checks to students. This has happened to me twice while attending Full Sail. Being a student is a FULL TIME JOB and I expect to get what is due to me as I work hard and go the extra mile, so should the faculty. And if this is not the case or what to expect, then Full Sail shouldn't expect the most out of their students if the faculty, right down to the janitor is not doing their job WELL.

Advice to Senior Management – Do not give vacations to financial advisors durring times when living expense checks are due to be mailed out--
