Corinthian Colleges Inc. Employer Reviews

They will give you a define role of what you are going to do. Then they will change it constantly. They give you control but no one will listen or do anything to help, and all suggestion that you will make will be taken under advisement, and nothing is ever done until somethings happens then blame you for what happens and ask why nothing was done about – more... it. – less

Second level support team was a very cohesive driven and productive group. Esprit de corp was high and production showed it..
I did not learn anythng from them but they learned many things from me I was way over qualified for the job but I loved education.
Senior level management seems to think they can run an Online college without tech support. this – more... will turn out badly for them. I have seen it in other companies and it never works out well. – less

Hard to rate as this is an online work environment. However, it was a great experience and CCI provides all of the tools necessary to be an effective instructor.

I enjoy helping students not only learn about business, but I have the privilege of helping them achieve their educational dreams.

Multi tasking a must
Teaches how to handle situations and problem solving
Working independently
Very heavy workload

Average, not a productive work flow, marginal merit awards if any. No advancement opportunities.

Working with employers and students
Organization and follow-up
Always finding ways to motivate staff
Seeing students giving up and not taking responsibility for their actions.
Being able to change a life.

My experience with Corinthian Colleges gave me a tremendous opportunity to lead and develop a marketing/sales team and delve intro strategic projects to endeavor to grow student enrollment and brand allegiance within the market. Due to the location of the coporate office and lack of current opportunity for growth, it was difficult to forsee years of – more... future growth with the organization. There was not a clearly defined ladder. – less

day shift, Monday - Friday
good benefits
not customer facing, processing center only
communication could be better

nights and weekends required
leadership training
room for advancement

The VP of the Internal Audit department fosters a very hostile workplace and explodes on people with seemingly no control over her emotions. This behavior creates undue stress for her Managers and trickles down to the staff. As just one example, the VP of the department this year yelled at the staff during a meeting when they requested more training. – more... She said "I don't ever want anyone to ask for more training and if you do, I will start giving exams after meetings on your content knowledge and I will tie this to your annual merit increase." I have recommended to my Alumni to steer clear for the past 2 years and in good conscience, could not recommend this place to anyone. – less

The most important positions on the campus typically have the least qualified people in them. My campus president could not get a similar level job at any other organization except maybe another foolish for-profit school. Regional management were even more of a joke. There is no concept of work life balance and turnover is constant. They are so antiquated – more... in their business practices and that is probably one of the main reasons for campuses not meeting their enrollment budgets and staff/faculty being laid off. That whole concept of managing through fear is ridiculous. I think management lives in a bubble. Like I stated, take their money and continue to look for other another because YOU WILL NOT FIND A CAREER THERE! – less

Good place to work when you have a passion for helpong people.

This is an ok place to work. The turn over rate is too high. Managemt does not know their job roles and no support system at all.

Enjoyed teaching and helping students on a daily basis. Co-workers got along and hardest part of the job was having to work double shifts at time due to shortage. I enjoyed working here as well.

Awesome advancement in company. Taught so much.. would suggest this to anyone

Growing company in skill and service set; provides programs and opportunities via educational programs nation wide.

I enjoy teaching and watching others succeed in what they are learning to do. The most enjoyable part about my job is graduation, and seeing someone acheive a goal that they may not have achieved without the support and guidance of their instructors.

I have worked with many of my co-workers for years at this point and we like to make the job fun and – more... really enjoy each other inside the walls of work and outside. I have had the opportunity to work with some really great people that I have learned so much from. – less

Look at the other reviews and you can see this is horrible place to work. Just run away fast. They don't respect employees and really don't respect the students. This is loserville, folks. Anyone with any intelligence and/or talent won't last long because it is a culture of fear and abuse. It seems only immigrants can sustain the torture. They will – more... suck the life out of you and then demand more. Their shady practices are literally criminal and they are under threat of losing it all due to government pressure. – less

A typical day consists of cold calling to doctor's offices, students, and graduates. We have meetings twice a day to update each other on whatever information may be helpful to get another placement.
I learned the inner workings of a for profit post-secondary school. Management at different levels seems okay. At times it seems nobody is on the same – more... page. Moving forward, once a soldier always a soldier. I adapt and overcome and do my best to remain positive. Being very flexible is one of my greater strengths and regardless of what happens at the top, work must still get done.
My co-workers are great! Very hard working and have a lot of drive. The hardest part of the job is the earning potential. Even with my recent promotion, and living within my means, I am working a part-time job for extra money. Yes, 80 hours here, and what's left over elsewhere. The most enjoyable part of my position is when I can help someone change their life. The best part of my job is when I can make a change for an individual and their families, that's my reward. – less
