Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Post University full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
• The people, Admissions are some of the hardest working people, willing to log in/text/email with students all hours of the day and weekend, on days off and holidays, on and off the clock.
• Benefits are decent, healthcare is good but a bit expensive. 401K (would appreciate a better match though)
• PTO
• Flexibility of your schedule
• Attempting to move in the right directionCons
• High volume call center.
• Only concerned with the bottom line, not the student.
• Sales mentality, given daily, weekly and monthly goals for applications and approvals. Under pressure to hit a 10 student per module goal.
• PTO, even if you take a week or two off your goal does not change, having a week off is not an excuse for falling short on 10 students.
• Constantly increasing the work load, work has doubled if not triple since starting and no sign of increase in pay or benefits.
• New hires earn more than staff who has been loyal and committed to Post for years.
• Lack of mobility. Too much security for management, Admissions is a revolving door due to performance but once you are in management you are safe.
• Strong culture of nepotism in management.Advice to Management
Value the employees you have, they work harder than you know and deserve better. To be constantly told you are appreciated is great, but after a time it is just words. Having “record breaking” enrollments that are profitable and not putting it back into the people who work so hard to get there.
Look into the culture of management, it comes from the top.
Increase benefits or increase pay. It’s more than deserved.Post University 2018-05-12 11:06 PDTHelpful (1)

low pay with no raise in 5 years with increasing demands
Advice to Management
invest more in your very qualified teaching staff or you will have trouble drawing effective instructors

Doesn't RecommendI have been working at Post University full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The pay is good for an entry level position.
Cons
I would maybe recommend a friend to work for Post University, but NOT to work for the admissions department. I've worked for over a year as an ADP Admissions Counselor and it really does suck. The pressure of hitting goal every time is ridiculous, they fire people very often, and even worse you won't even see it coming. They let you work half your shift and then fire you and won't let you go back to your desk to retrieve your belongings. It's really hard to do well here, if you aren't best friends with management OR if you just aren't good at sales. Training is not effective, and the team that you get put on can either make or break the job for you. The interview and job description is all misleading; you are expected to call over 100 people a day, it's mainly all cold calling, and it's extremely boring.
Advice to Management
It's important to let future employees what they're getting into especially within the Admissions department, because it most certainly is a sales position! Spend more time training your employees instead of letting a ton of people go all at once and then replacing them in such a short amount of time! It makes everyone else feel like there's no job security.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookI worked at Post University full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
None. Possibly the most unprofessional place I’ve ever seen.
Cons
Shady recruitment practices. High pressure sales. If students go unresponsive you’re pressured to track them down like a bill collector, but worse. Admission Counselors routinely text bomb from alternate numbers or even stalk students and their family to pressure them to participate. If a student posts in the class once they count toward an AC’s goals. If you fall below 10 students per Mod you are on the firing block. So Admissions Counselors are under intense pressure to make their students participate at least once. Admissions Counselors who do recruite more than 10 students are rewarded with under the table time off. The ethics line is constantly blurred. The coworkers are some petty and disrespectful people. A disgruntled employee once smeared feces all over the ladies bathroom. Coworkers have broken out in ghetto shouting matches in front of me over students.
Advice to Management
I think it’s time for another major overhaul with management. New boss same as the old boss.
