Salary is excellent compared to other nursing programs in the state.
Cons
Can't put into your retirement until you've been employed for a full year. No work-life balance, very little academic freedom. No privacy; classrooms, offices and faculty lounges/break rooms are monitored at all times with video and audio.

Thank you for your 2 Star review and your positive comments about our excellent wages! We try hard to ensure they are competitive.
Our wait time to enroll on our 401k is one year and yet our other benefits are first of the month following 60 days of FT employment.
We are sorry to hear you felt like you did not have option on a good work-life balance. This can be tricky making sure to separate our lives when both are demanding. Academic freedom can also be tricky since the standardization of curriculum is so important when dealing with accreditation regulations. We do encourage instructors to personalize there approach of curriculum in the classroom with personal work specific examples but we also want to ensure we stay with the syllabus outline unless you get approval to have it changed.
Video and audio at our campuses prove to be very valuable like having them for instructor classroom observations and reviewing issues in the classroom to coach on. They also provide valuable security for our locations in ensuring a safe environment.
We thank you for the review and wish you the best going forward.

We could not do what we do without great employees like you.
Your passion for our students drives the great outcomes like in our recent accreditation visits.
Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do!

When I started off working for Prospect Education, it was known as one of the best companies I worked for. Great management, benefits, fun working environment, and always recognized for my hard work. Great coworkers I can now call friends!
Cons
Employees are punished for the company's lack of financial stability and inconsistent/poor management. Due to the company losing money, employees are now treated less than and all of our hard work that was done yesterday, the previous month, or previous quarter is discarded....even if we made/maintained our department goals. The CEO is extremely greedy and insensible! Not only has he humiliated us by this new "tsunami" thing he has going, which gave most of us hope the company will pick back up, BUT we will all be out of jobs in January 2015 with no severance pay to show some type of appreciation for ALL of our hard work we have provided towards this company. Some of us have been loyal to this company for years and this is what we get...a SLAP IN THE FACE!
