Well I have read the many comments on this site and have to agree with them all. I worked there. Those poor students. The Worse part of all: the people who worked on the bottom floor, the receptionists, bookstore, and maintenance, had to deal with it first hand and were caught in the middle. Being that they were pe-ons basically, they had no say in anything. And all the upstairs employees could screen their visits. With an exception to a few employees up there, they all dodged the students and didnt have the time to see them most of the time. It was like pulling teeth for these students to get any answers. And when they did, they were treated so disrespectfully. I seen the students pain. We would see first hand the students being promised one thing and the financial aid supervisor, accounting, and the president, would find loop holes not to keep those promises. Worst part is, if you wanted to keep your job, you had to have your employers back even though you knew it was morally wrong what they were doing to these students. So many politics at this place. So many people nice to your face, but turn around and talk about you as soon as you leave the room. Many of them I would hear talking so badly about the students and nothing was ever the employees fault. It was horrible for some employees that didn't want to take part in any of it and was basically considered the black sheep because of it. It was really sad when it came down to the students coming to school one day and the name and school they knew just magically disappeared. Why were so many employees hush hush to their beloved students if they put the students first? Doesn't make any sense. Yes the company may have changed hands but all the rude employees that really do not care about the students are all still there. Unfortantely the ones who cared and busted their butts for that place are gone. One by one they were layed off or fired and students were angry because those were the only friendly faces they would see there. What a shame! Students beware: Owners may have changed, but all the people who left you in the dark and treated you rudely are still there. Thank god there is a new President. She was 90% of all the complaints. Nevertheless, please proceed with caution!
