Pros

Good employees, bad district managers.

Cons

Without a doubt, the most unethical company I have ever worked for. The upper management that I worked for was very shady. I was asked to do things that were borderline illegal. In 25 years in the industry, this was the most depressing job I have ever held. No work/life balance, low pay for managers, and executives who were not engaged at all except when there was trouble.

Pros

The Pros are really not there for this company. I personally have no idea how I wasted such a larger amount of time at a company that promotes untalented, unintelligent HACKs for leadership.

Cons

Management, is old and has no vision of the future. They are NOT collaborative and only care about the person above them!

Pros

Great Campus to work on for this account. Amazing student workers.

Cons

Long hours. No respect for work/life balance. 60-70 hour work week 7-14 days without a day off that wasn't really a day off. On call 24/7. No accountability for staff doing their job description/duties. Which in turn made my work load heavier. No upper management support to help correct these issues.
