Pros

Bragging Rights... if you're into that kinda thing. It's produced some graduates that are in the Entertainment Industry.

Cons

Where to start? They pay a non-negotiable $14/hr no matter how many years of experience or college you have under your belt. You get to be micromanaged by washed-up former Admissions Guides turned Team Leads who have drank the Full Sail Kool-Aid far too long they have no sense of reality or the outside world. They create a wonderful façade when you get hired on that Full Sail is a magical place where dreams come true. But in reality, every STUDENT is a LEAD and they want you to pull every trick in the SALES book to get them to apply. Check out Consumer Reports at the bottom of their webpage. This school is garbage.

Pros

If you want to work where you can really make a difference in the lives of young college students who need help to achieve their career goals, this is the place for you!

Cons

This is a fast paced environment where you teach courses that typically are taught in a semester in traditional college classes in one month. The good thing about that is you get much done with the students quickly to support them.

Pros

Full Sail is made up of people who genuinely care. There’s a strong sense of belief in what they do, and you can see it in the number of employees who have stayed and grown there over time.

Cons

There’s been a shift away from some of the things that once defined Full Sail—fewer external events, scaled-back internal celebrations, and limited pay growth. Leadership feels less steady, and the broader direction isn’t always clear. From a compensation standpoint, moving from hourly to salary actually reduced my total earnings, and the adjustment I received didn’t fully make up the difference. That’s been especially difficult given my time with the company and the expectations of my current role.
