Pros

Senior Leadership is committed to doing the right things for the right reasons, and it filters through out the organization. One of my favorite employers in a very long time. A real leader in the higher education space.

Cons

I do not have any downsides. If something could be improved it would be to embrace the new people in the organization a little more, lots of tenure sometimes leads to forgetting about the new folks.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep being progressive and keep leading as you are. There seems to be well honed new leadership team in Workforce Solutions that is making it work.

Pros

Collaborative and collegial atmosphere. People really do want to help one another, support from the home office to field personal is outstanding, and you really feel that the company values it's employees.

Cons

No real downside. Still some friction as it relates to the old and the new regime on the WFS team, but that is beginning to shake itself out.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what you're doing, listen to your employees, listen to your customers. Continue to improve the business brand and the market perception of for profit education.

Training and implementation of initiatives often fall short leading to misdirection and confusion in the employee ranks.
