    Super low pay.

    Jan 30, 2023 - Adjunct Instructor in Denver, CO

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Extremely low pay for a professor. They pump 40-plus people in a class and pay roughly 1350 a class. Most people only get to teach 1 class at a time. That's right... two students to pay for the instructor (worth in tuition) and 38 for profit. It takes 3 years to get a raise IF you qualify. With 1300 or so part-time instructors, and hardly any full-time instructors, can you really trust this school? Oh, and for fun, throw in 0 benefits. :)

    Cons

    I listed the pros as a con because, let's be honest, $`300 a class is dirt cheap to pay for an instructor. No pay raises at all except every three years, and only then, if you qualify. Avoid working for this school at all costs, unless you just need some work experience. Even then, is it worth it?

    No Raise

    Feb 3, 2023 - Adjunct Professor 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Nice people to work with. Most lead professors are very nice. Can work remotely.

    Cons

    I have been teaching classes here for over 6 years and they have not given one COLA raise even with high inflation. Still paying $1350/ class. Large classes and they keep expecting more and more time from professors with no compensation increase. When you actually break down the compensation per hour worked it is very low. Fast food workers with no degree don't make much less.

    Pros

    Outreach methods to students are great. Always encouraged and positive vibe from the school.

    Cons

    Courses and five weeks so can be a short turnaround time. However, once you prep for one course, it's not much to prep for others.
