It's online so it's flexible. It's also cheaper than *some* for-profit schools.

Cons

Students who continue to pass classes who cannot do the required work (adjuncts fearing for their jobs pass them). Rampant plagiarism. Terrible pay (I worked there 10 years and never got any kind of raise). They allowed students with PTSD to attend classes even knowing they couldn't pay attention and took their money anyway.

Cons

Management. A couple short years ago, instructors and adjuncts were analyzed on their teaching ability. I was told full time also have to conduct research. When I left, it was so micro managed and instructors were so attacked with passive-aggressive messages that many of us felt our jobs were constantly under threat. Faculty are evaluated on items they did not know they would be evaluated on Less emphasis on teaching than anything else. Cost cutting A lot of meetings even for adjuncts Pay is not very good anymore Management feels out to get you instead of in your corner to teach students. It's become very political and appears some folks are trying to prove their worth by firing people or getting people to resign, like me. Student count is down and management seems to be grasping at straws. The job became so depressing I had to go.

Pros

Interesting to learn about the state of the military through knowing the students

Cons

Pay is little and non sensical. 60 per student who completes a course. 70 per student who starts it. Being paid by the student like this, you never really know how much you will be earning week to week or month to month. No benefits. Expectations change with each rotation at the top and no increase in pay although continual addition of tasks
