Pros
AP was a great experience overall; I enjoyed working on getting my program off the ground and enjoyed working with the vertical. I would still be at AP if my dream job closer to home had not come my way. I didn’t expect the environment to be so fast paced., which was thrilling and kept me on my toes.
Cons
AP has a tendency of starting new initiatives and then stop them altogether or just simply stop supporting them. That can be frustrating. The internal technology is sorely lacking infrastructure and some commonality among platforms.
Advice to Management
Don’t micromanage or second guess decisions that managers make. I think there are some strong managers that understand the market within their verticals and their industry. Let people manage.

Pros
The people there really want to make a difference
Pay is goodCons
High Turnover
Chaotic Environment
Leadership by fear, if you don't agree with the CEO's pet, then you are blackballed
Not a transparent environment
Old and Arcaid systems, so fact-based management is a jokeAdvice to Management
If you hire good talent, let them do their job....isn't that why you hired them?
If the Executive turnover is high with many people, do you think "you" might be the problem?Academic Partnerships 2018-07-09 13:52 PDT![Academic Partnerships Logo]()

Pros
The mission is good and helps students excel in life.
Cons
This is a place where "no good deed goes unpunished". AP is a good place to gain experience but not good to get settled and grow.
Advice to Management
The managers should be trained to set the expectations, manage the performance, and address the performance issues.

Pros
Good location in Downtown - you may need it as you will get frustrated in 3 months and stay away from the office
Cons
Founder and his team are back again trying to run the company (running it down). Culture is very bad and from what I hear they do this every 2 or so years.
Good leadership is on their way out.. Drip drip drip starting from a good CEO in December and every week since then. Just lost an outstanding leader in Marketing.
Universities are being exploited and students compromised.
The founder and his team do not respect Talent but rather people that says "Yes" to them.
Several unethical events happen and unethical people as the founder team does not seem to bother as long as they can meet their enrollment numbers
HR is almost non existent and non supportiveAdvice to Management
Stop the con job of luring people to come work for AP and then find out how unethical it is, don't play with their life, you will face their brunt and curse

Pros
Best job I've ever had! I get to help students get registered for courses and answer any general questions about specific degree programs. 3 week training by a great trainer. Monthly lunches, Halloween contests, weekly team meetings and a semi great management!
Cons
It can be a tad unorganized at times.
Advice to Management
Work on the development of your employee's more and be better organized.

Revolving door, fear management, petty, very petty for very low pay.
Advice to Management
Understand how to deal with people from different backgrounds. Motivate people to win, not try to scare them to not fail. That's stupid.
