Locally familial, Nationally tyrannical with fleeting ethics - Admissions Representative Charter College Employee Review

Pros

The campus leadership at the local level was incredible. The admissions team was the best in the company as well as an incredible family to work with. Management allowed us to make the right decisions for our potential students. The pay was good for the last year that I was there.

Cons

The upper management is tyrannical and insulting to their employees. Unrealistic expectations and emotionally fueled and aggressive attacks upon the character of their employees seems to be the way that they choose to operate. I used to be a huge advocate of the CEO until I discovered the nature of his bureaucratic iron fist. Though I consider myself an incredibly intuitive individual, I had no idea that he chose to smile in your face and defame behind your back. All promotions were politically based, zero came from skill. In fact, many of the promotions from one campus in particular were in the interest of defusing a scandal. All of the people promoted were female. Management operates in a completely dismissive manner. A year ago, they cut the pay for admissions representatives by way of an email (we weren't important enough for a meeting...). This pay cut was so catastrophic that the most tenured member of our team lost $30,000 annually and had 2 weeks to prepare for such a catastrophic pay cut. Not even a month later during a quarterly meeting, the former CEO bragged that his average annual bar tab was more than the meager salary that he had just cut his admissions reps to. Over the course of my 3 years at the Vancouver campus I watched 43 people either be fired or quit (predominantly fired). The campus is practically a rotating door.
