Great Company / School
Feb 3, 2023 - National Consultant in Tempe, AZRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Lots of opportunity to move up and around. Good leadership
Cons
Competitive - Some like that and some don't. I liked it
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
1. Received Regular course assignments 2. Pretty low stress 3. Minimal grading requirements 4. Decent pay
Cons
1. A lot of micromanagement in first term classed 2. Large class sizes of 60 students 3. Scripted student responses required-very little faculty creativity allowed 4. Required to facilitate 1 live session per week, and frequently no students would show
- Current Employee★★★★★
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?

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.

Cons
Good school to attend very accelerated so a lot of extra studying is need to really understand and have a takeaway from each class.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Outreach methods to students are great. Always encouraged and positive vibe from the school.

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.
