Pros

Working from him, good benefits, PTO, sick time, holiday pay.

Cons

Management can’t decide on what their standards are. There is a lot of critique within this job a lot of the time, that’s not something that I was really prepared for when I excepted this job. A big part of this job is making calls to students, helping students go through a presentation of basically about their program, interest and the school. Then you know getting them Registered for school and all that stuff. But the part that I wasn’t told about when I was hired is all of the critiquing within the workplace you’re constantly critiqued every day all the time by everybody. So if you’re not interested in something like that, I would not recommend this job to you , you also have some thing called mentor meetings where they literally listen to your phone calls because your phone calls are recorded as well as your zoom meeting calls. They request that you record a couple of zoom meetings a week and then send them to your mentor so that they can review them. It’s really stressful if that’s some thing that you might be uncomfortable with. They request that you have a certain amount of call time every day which, as of right now what I’ve been told is having at least two hours per day in call time and the zoom time. and it having a certain amount of zoom meetings/information tours every week as well but basically, the information tours are just giving students information about the school, financial aid, cost of school, their program interest.
