This is the worse I have ever worked at. As an admission advisor you are expected to push the students to the breaking point in order to get that precious enrollment. They expect you to enroll anyone walking through the door, even a homeless person.  Numbers are to be made by all means necessary. There is no value in their programs. 34k for a degree with little to no substance. Students get into a large debt just to find themselves making $8-9 an hr. The also leave the school with a debt to them. You are expected to harrass prospect studenys to the point of exhaustion just to make them sign that precious enrollment agreement. They conduct business bending the regulations. I was once asked to lie to a student about the content of a program. The place is a revolving door. Employees simply do not last long, they quit before they even make 6 months.  Don't expect to be treated with respect, you are just a factory worker. The staff will sabotage you and backstabbing is the norm. There are no opportunities for advacement, it is just a lie to get people to apply. You will be watched every single minute of your day and talked to daily by  for failing to sell the product. The campus director hoovers over the employees, hides to listen to your conversations, and just makes the staff feel uncomfortable at all times. Shady stuff happens at all departments, they all just work together, and will bend rules to get that number. The Department of Education needs to take action, this is a very crooked school. Even current students hate the place, they feel they were cheated and lied, and they are absolutely right. They push students to enroll once after finishing a program to keep the numbers rolling by telling that doing so will stop theit loans from goIng into repayment. If you have good values, a conscience, and a strong ethic run from this place as fast as possible.

The work environment at Southern Technical College can be extremely challenging for employees across multiple departments. Many instructors are expected to keep their classrooms functioning despite ongoing shortages of supplies and resources, which creates frustration and added stress. Faculty members often feel unsupported while trying to meet the needs of students who sometimes require a higher level of behavioral management and guidance than expected in a higher education setting.
Some employees have also expressed concerns about inconsistency and perceived favoritism in hiring and advancement decisions. There is a perception among staff that certain positions are filled unevenly unless candidates possess specialized technical expertise, which has contributed to tension and low morale among employees.
Administrative responsibilities also appear unevenly distributed. The librarian is reportedly responsible not only for library operations, but also for handling student book and uniform ordering, creating an overwhelming workload for one position.
Within Career Services, management is described as highly restrictive. Career Services Advisors are expected to remain focused solely on departmental duties and may face disciplinary action if they assist other departments outside of Career Services responsibilities. This has reportedly created a rigid and tense work atmosphere with limited collaboration between teams.
Overall, employees describe concerns related to morale, communication, staffing expectations, and lack of institutional support across departments. Save your resources for a position where you will be respected especially if you have degrees. 

Typically we delivered every bit of material to the best of our ability to a more than culturally diverse group of individuals. Maintaining a positive attitude both with students and with the team members. The hardest part of the job was my age. There were several students who misinterpreted my age as an inability to deliver the proper materials in a college institution. The most enjoyable part was watching the most unsure and scared individuals, blossom into incredible Medical Assistants and obtain a well paying job. The satisfaction of watching my students graduate on the same stage, with the same exact smile, and pride as I did. I learned to be patient and understanding, as well as stern when needed, with my students in their daily lives. We went through a months worth of material in 16 days with classes only 4 hours long twice a day. From start to finish, they had to obtain special skills that would allow them to work in their field of choice that Medical assistants could apply for. Check-offs and assessments for each individual was given weekly, if not daily. It was a very pleasant place to have been employed with.

Southern Tech is an educational institute that cared about each and every student.  Since it is a for profit school,  my job as an instructor was not only to teach but to help each student to stay focused on there education goal in life.  

The students there were not your typical student that chose college right out of high school.  Some students were drop outs,  had rough lives as children & teens, some are mothers, some are homeless, they are not your typical student but they had a goal and it is to get an education and a better life for themselves and Southern Tech provides them with that.

Classes are taught by very experience instructors who have worked in the field and can give them hat perfect hands on experience they  need.


The entire staff is helpful to all students with all of their needs.

I enjoyed working there and will be forever grateful for the opportunity to have impacted so many students in life careers and choices.

My job can encompass a lot of patience, but so happy to be here. Support staff is wondeful as well. My coworkers feel like a family, which includes the DMS program director, as well as the Director of education.  The hardest part would be the micromanaging from the overall program director, who works off campus, & has poor communication skills. A typical day would include a 3 hour lecture followed by a 2 hour lab/scanning time. Sometimes, if the class was large, it was a bit tough to give all of my students the attention they required, but I did what I thought to be my best. Definitely having a student show me that they learned from me was very enjoyable. It makes me remember my schooling, & how patient my teachers were with me, which in turn I hope reflected in my time here.

Not long term/poor management/ poor leadership.. False promises (often)forced to travel far for meetings and CeU’s  . Focus student enrollments and student drops. Clicks and groups..employees put against one another .. managers use plenty of profanity... Pressured to pass students who should have otherwise failed. Beware not for any educators who take themselves seriously and professionally! 

Honestly if there’s any 3-5 stars here you best to believe they too were under pressure. This company should be shut down and if you get a chance look at the bad Youtube videos regarding this company.  It took almost two years to write this review (so disappointing)  but wanted applicants to know what they’re seeking.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Teaching the kids to the best of my ability 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with instructors that made the job complicated by always trying out do me when the report was I was a good instructor… these two other instructors alway tooting up to the Dean with a bunch of none job related stuff that ended up getting her fired….. in short the lack of professionalism and support for the instructors…….

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It all depended on who the Dean was. When the Dean was good the environment was good.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I worked a split shift and I lived 64 miles away so I had to stay all day.. that was stressful. But the students overall were always  wanting to learn and I was always ready to teach.

This is nothing but another for profit school with unqualified people leading. Most for profit schools staff are usually the same bunch of people who skip aroundfrom one school to the next! Don't even waste your time the place is full of unprofessional gossip ridden people! Sad atmosphere where favoritism nepotism and no integrity rules. Should you believe in good honest work ethic you will not make it here. Everyone covers up for one another so if you are not corrupt like the majority you will not LAST here. Only the shady scum balls are favored! Sad to put the school and or admissions on blast but unfortunately it's so true and this place needs to be exposed. This why admission jobs are always open, turnover is high!!!

Worked under Director.  Performed day to day functions required, accounting, payroll, planning graduation ceremony, inventory, assisting 20 instructors with test papers, handouts, recording grades, maintaining student / employee records, re-certification for state accreditation, etc.  Advancement was there if you worked hard to achieve promotion.  Fellow employees were good, very little conflict.  Management always available if needed.  Quarter end was hectic with records, posting tests scores, GPAs, diplomas, graduation ceremonies, etc.  Enjoyed being able to sit in on classes now and then to further my computer knowledge or accounting skills.  Instructors gladly helped when you had a problem to solve.
