Southeastern College

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Southeastern College is the impact. As an Admissions Coordinator, I get to meet people who are ready for change but are not always confident in themselves yet. Watching that shift happen is the most rewarding part.

You sit with someone who feels stuck or unsure, and over time you see them grow in confidence and direction. Being part of the moment when someone decides to bet on themselves is powerful.

I also appreciate the structure and professionalism. There are clear expectations, accountability, and standards. It pushes you to stay sharp and operate with integrity.

If you care about helping people move toward better careers and you are willing to work hard, it is meaningful work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The stressful part of working as an Admissions Coordinator is the pressure to perform while still making sure you are doing what is right for each student.

You are balancing enrollment goals, follow ups, phone calls, appointments, and documentation every single day. It is fast paced. Some days you are managing multiple students with different concerns at the same time.

It can also be emotionally heavy. You hear people’s struggles, financial stress, family issues, self doubt. You want to help everyone, but not every situation has a quick solution.

You have to stay organized, resilient, and professional. If you are not disciplined with your time and mindset, it can feel overwhelming. But if you can handle pressure and stay focused, it can also be very rewarding.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are clear expectations, strong accountability, and a focus on results. It is fast paced and performance based, but also centered on helping students succeed. If you are organized, self motivated, and care about making an impact, you will do well.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working as an Admissions Coordinator has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Every day brings the opportunity to positively impact someone’s life by helping them take the next step toward their career goals. The role allows you to build meaningful relationships with prospective students while guiding them through an important and sometimes overwhelming decision-making process.

The environment is fast-paced and goal-oriented, which keeps things exciting and pushes you to grow professionally. I’ve developed stronger communication, presentation, and leadership skills while learning how to effectively manage follow-ups, campus tours, and enrollment processes.

What I appreciate most is being part of a team that truly believes in student success. Seeing students start their journey and knowing you played a part in that decision is extremely rewarding.

If you enjoy working with people, building connections, and being part of a mission-driven environment, Admissions is a great career path.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of being an Admissions Coordinator is balancing high performance expectations with the emotional weight of the role. You are often working with prospective students who are making major life decisions, sometimes under financial or personal pressure, while also managing enrollment goals and strict deadlines.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is fast-paced, goal-driven, and highly interactive. Admissions is a people-centered department, so collaboration, communication, and teamwork are essential to success. Each day involves engaging with prospective students, hosting campus tours, and working closely with other departments to ensure a smooth enrollment process.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Southeastern College fosters a culture where people truly care — about students, about each other, and about making a difference. The support from leadership and peers creates an environment where employees feel empowered, valued, and motivated to do their best work.

The organization encourages growth, welcomes new ideas, and recognizes the importance of teamwork. It is inspiring to be part of a college that not only talks about student-centeredness but actively lives it through daily actions and decisions.

Simply put, Southeastern College is a place where purpose meets opportunity.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I’ve learned that strong teams, clear communication, and proactive planning turn pressure into progress — and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing those efforts translate into student success.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
he culture is collaborative, supportive, and deeply student-centered. There is a strong sense of shared purpose across teams, and leadership prioritizes open communication, professional growth, and recognizing contributions. The work environment is fast-paced yet energizing, with colleagues who are committed to helping one another succeed while making a meaningful impact on students’ lives.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My role sits at the intersection of strategy, performance, and people leadership. Each day I work to align marketing and enrollment efforts across multiple campuses, translate data into action, empower leaders, and position the institution for sustainable growth while ensuring an incredible student experience!  It is both challenging and deeply rewarding to help shape the future of our students and the organization.

This place is extremely average. As someone going into higher education for the first time I didn’t know what to expect but it wasn’t this. The environment isn’t the best. People are constantly gossiping about each other and the people who have been here for awhile are bitter and it shows. One older employee who has been with the company for almost 10 years told me to get out while I can.. you have to watch what you say around people. Not only that but since it is a for profit school it feels very salesy at times in admissions. They want to you hit a goal of students and if you aren’t you can feel the pressure. It’s all about getting as many students enrolled as you can and making as much money for them as you can. No excuses. They say they care about students but they just want you to enroll. That’s all they care about. The tuition is extremely overpriced for a certificate based school. I would feel bad a lot of the time getting people in this much debt for just a certificate when there’s other options out there that are WAY cheaper. For all the roles and responsibilities you’re doing the pay is on the lower end I feel. They should be paying their AC’s more than they are. The turnover rate for this position is high. People come and go all the time. Basically look elsewhere this position doesn’t offer much. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The students and it used to be support from supervisors and administration.  Administration changed and the Keiser family is no longer involved in day to day operations.  Management has changed.  They are offering big money to new hires, but keeping longer term staff at much lower rates.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No back up from administration.  Students cuss teachers to their face, defy them outright.  The only thing admin says is you should have better control of your class.  No consequences for students

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice building.  Supplies are not always available when needed to teach students their skills.  Culture has changed.  They used to be supportive, that was deteriorating when I left.  They say they support staff but the actions don’t match up.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worked 8am to 4 pm Monday thru Friday.  And Monday thru Thursday 5:00 to 10:30 pm.  No OT.  But they they will then request you do clinicals on weekends.  If no instructor, will get a math instructor who works part time to sit with students while they do assignments.

This was an excellent place to be in. On a daily basis, things changed often. This kept me on my toes. I love jobs with a challenge. I would come in every morning, monitor the payroll for the staff to ensure the staff would not miss their time punch and this was great. I would sit in on several meetings per day along with my boss the Vice President of the Campus and would prepare Meeting Minutes to be kept for viewing by the Corporate Office. I would also be in charge of daily productivity of the office such as preparing rooms for meetings, purchasing food or supplies for meetings, preparing the auditorium for Graduation. The only challenging part was sometimes I to wear may hats at one time but overall with proper pacing this were able to get done in an efficient manner. Getting laid off was bittersweet in essence. I can look back and be thankful for being able to be the Executive Assistant, Payroll Specialist, HR Generalist, Facilities Manager, Accounts Payable Rep, Office Manager all in one!

Consider the reviews before applying, especially for the Charleston location! But it doesn’t matter the snake has to be killed at the head and that’s in Miami.  
Concerns regarding management dynamics are frequently mentioned, including perceived favoritism and nepotism. These internal issues often create a challenging work environment and interfere with day-to-day operations. Compensation is inconsistent, with no clear pay structure, employees in comparable or even more senior roles may earn less than their peers. Overall, the organization would benefit from a comprehensive restructuring to improve professionalism, transparency, and workplace morale. There are instances of uncertainty in location to personal issues following management to the workplace.  Some of the worse management 


A typical day at Southeastern College is far from typical. The students are great and dedicated about getting a nursing degree. Also, the staff is just as dedicated about the success of the students; its'  our passion!
I have learned what it means to be a true team member and part of the "think tank" that helps Southeastern College be successful. The management team is dynamic and serious, but we also know how to have fun and enjoy our student body. However, the hardest part of the job would be trying to get the students to understand that this is not just about going to school, but learning a new why of life, thinking and being. 
All in all the best part are the graduations. Seeing the lives of these students  change ,and their loved ones so proud of them; proves to be an awesome experience that goes beyond description.

If you are expecting to be paid fairly for your degree, certification, and or years of experience, this is definitely not the place to apply. Southeastern College, formerly Keiser Career College, is documented as one of the lowest ranking colleges on the pay scale for instructors and program directors. Your're after the benefits and don't care much about the pay? Good luck; their benefits program is so expensive you'd be better off saving your money and purchasing a plan from someone else.
The first thing I learned about my new employer after taking my position was that they have a hideous reputation in town and had to change their name to hide it. Unfortunately the reputation has been well earned with management, so don't let the name fool you. Stay far, far, away from this sinking ship.

I didn't have teaching experience when I started in 2008, only passion for my industry. The program was established but new to the school and relatively easy to learn and work with. In 4+ years I have seen a variety of students with amazing stories of triumph and overcoming obstacles come through the doors learn various skills and graduate with confidence to be placed in the community with employment. Student success is the goal. The "thank you" text messages from graduates are quite rewarding. My co-workers are equally passionate and always willing to help and go the extra mile. It is a smaller school with a family like environment for staff, faculty, and administration.
