Pros

Working with students who are trying to improve their lives is always a meaningful pursuit. That provides a large amount of job satisfaction. I enjoy a large amount of autonomy in terms of my schedule outside of the classroom and how I choose to teach the material. That allows me to tailor and craft a quality student experience. Lower to mid level management is awesome. Very aware of the demands on the staff and very supportive.

Cons

While I enjoy the autonomy of my job, I'm aware that it stems from a certain lack of organization and cohesiveness. For lazy or unmotivated staff members, that provides a massive opportunity to fail students by providing a subpar experience. Upper management is often completely out of touch with the details of the student experience and will sometimes push for subpar or even counterproductive curriculum and practices (in my opinion).

Pros

They offer unlimited PTO (so long as you don't abuse it), are a great team of people who joke and laugh with eachother as much as they work hard!

Cons

After years of teaching, it can become monotonous. But that's any job, really.

Pros

Before Strayer started running daily operations, the culture was super friendly and laidback. Students' needs were prioritized, pay was decent but could've been better, and morale was really good.

Cons

The parent company, Strayer, started running daily operations and brought in a lot of people from corporate to make changes that ran the company into the ground. Layoffs happened every couple of months throughout 2024 so that Strayer could just take over the bootcamps.
