Pros

- Recent introduction of a 2% 401k match (2-year vesting period) shows a minor improvement over the previous 0%. - Some dedicated individuals genuinely strive to prioritize students' interests. - Opportunity to learn the importance of ethical behavior through the founders' lack thereof.

Cons

- Founders lacking ethics and integrity created a toxic work environment. - Limited business sense and standardization resulted in chaos and confusion. - Absence of accountability and innovation stifled growth and progress. - Poor financial management hindered the company's potential to invest in valuable tools. - Meager 10 days vacation and 5 days sick leave, both accrued, left employees with minimal time off. - New ownership from Colorado Technical University (Perdoceo) did not bring any positive changes. - Dominance of egos and an unhealthy culture hindered collaboration and improvement. - Lack of transparency and communication was evident during layoffs, where individuals suddenly 'disappeared' without any acknowledgment from leadership. - Overall experience left employees regretting their decision to work there.
