Illinois Student Assistance Commission

I learned a lot about student loans and the federal regulations concerning the origination and the processing of loans. We could help students in different ways to pay off the loans with in the federal guidelines. I could learn the financial side and thus understand the student loan industry in a deeper level. The enjoyable part is the satisfaction when we could help the borrowers and their positive responses. Hardest part is the feeling when we have to collect money with higher interest rate after default and litigation. It was a pleasure to work with the management and co-workers.

A workday consisted of making calls and setting payment plans for students that have defaulted on federal student loans.
Learned to work with students to help meet responsibilties of repayment of student debt according to governmental gudelines.
Management was helpful in supplying needed assistance in explaining governmental requirements to people who weren't understandin the process
Had wonderful co-workers.
The hardest part of the job was of course, a payplan was agreed upon, and for one reason or another the student still wasn't able to meet the obligation.
The most enjoyable part of the job was when the student was able to complete the obligation therefore, getting uot of default.

This job is very flexible with their schedule. You do have an 8-week summer training you have to do before you start the school year. You go into the high schools of the district you are working with and help out the counselors there by offering some financial aid information with FAFSA and the RISE act. You also have office hours with the students so they can ask for help in relation to financial aid itself, college applications, career exploration, and more. 

I am grateful to of had the opportunity to work with the people in this office and to work with a company that taught me so much. The management was always understanding and guided me when I asked. I was able to gain office experience while still going to school full time. This position really influenced the career choice I want to pursue. It taught me about loans, government regulations, computer security, and many more life and work skills.

Working at ISAC was a great experience. I learned how to manage student loans from the beginning of the student grant/loan process until the very end payment program process.

This job is suitable for recent college grads, but can get overwhelmingly boring at times. There are months in which you feel that you are overpaid for the amount of work you actually do, and then there are months where you feel that you are underpaid for what you do.

The hardest part of the job is that there is no consistency.

The jobs are meaningful but that stops mattering when you need a second job simply to survive. They pay the same salary whether you live in the city or a rural area but require some employees to live in Chicago which has a much higher cost of living. This workplace needs to catch up to the times and stop paying poverty wages.

I enjoy my current job just am looking to make more money. I create my own schedule so no two days are the same for me. I really enjoy having the flexibility of working kind of when i want in a sense. 

This was a great place to work. I  had an excellent manager and director that acknowledged my strengths.  The office was comfortable and we had a relaxed atmosphere even during our annual audits.

My time spent here was enjoyable. Everyone in my region was friendly and helpful when I needed them. Prior to remote work, there was a lot of traveling involved for events and presentations. No room for moving up and the pay was ok.
