Tulsa Welding School

After going to school each day I would start at work. Work throughout the day consist of making sure that the students had all of the necessary materials to complete the projects assigned as in metal plate on the cuttting tables, pipe cut to one foot lengths, made sure that welding rods were stocked in pre-warming ovens, filler metal rods for TIG were in full supply, cut filler rods to 18 inch lengths, supervise newer employees to make sure that their tasks were being completed, refilling of water jugs, refilling of ear plugs, refilling of glass replacement lenses, refilling of soapstone, sweeping maintainance department and changing out tables and pipes in the booths. While working there I learned how to use the knowledge of what I was learning in class and produce useful things like tables and cabinets for our sister school, TWS HVAC. Management was disorganized and didn't communicate effectively. My co-workers were great to work with because most of them were in lower phases than myself and I could help them learn ways of doing up and coming projects. By the time I left everyone was asking me for hints, tips and tricks of how to complete their projects. The hardest part of this job was the supervisors argumentative attitudes. The most enjoyable part of this job was talking to the instructors as a co-worker and not as a student. Their insight of how the industry works in and out will be very helpful to me in the future.

If you've worked in for-profit colleges before then you know the deal. You will be overworked, there is no work-life balance, the turnaround is high, they aren't looking for quality students, and you will be fed pizza. The plus, if you are going in as an admissions rep make them pay you more because they will. WAY above the average, do not let them low-ball you. My direct teammates were awesome during the time I was there which is rare. These upper management leaders are awful - pushing students through just to turn around and say you are doing a horrible job with enrollments. 

When working here - you are constantly in fear of losing your job.

Upper Management doesn't care about the students - it's all about the number of students that start school; whether it's the right decision for the student or not...

Trying to be ethical - while still maintaining the "numbers" that you need so that you don't lose your job.

Loved working with the students and my co-workers, it was the management team that made it impossible to keep a healthy balance - good students and job security...

What is the best part of working at the company?
Teamwork and support from coworkers and corporate office.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Thinking that you may not achieve your actual goals, however, following the process it always provides a win.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very supportive and all team members were willing to help. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You know what to expect each day. It is very structured and that eliminates unnecessary stress. You are able to plan and achieve your goals.

I enjoyed my time there and it was a great learning experience.
Working with students helping to make sure they had everything they needed to complete the task set before them.  Monitor each student thru the learn curve and process of welding. The hardest part of the job was saying goodbye to the students as they graduated and went off to further their welding skills in the job force. The most enjoyable part was seeing them walk across stage, knowing that they would be helping build America.

Was hired after working at another school for 5 years. Was let go with no reason given after only a few months. I was told by the Director of Admissions that she would train me the right way! Only to have 4 meetings for the rest of the day. Total time of training with her in my first two weeks was 30 minutes. I’ve recently learned that she, The campus director and their top sales people are all gone now. If you’re considering working here I would stay away. They ask you to work maybe one Saturday which turns into 4 of 5 Saturdays. All in all it’s poorly run & the leadership has failed the Tulsa campus.

Unless you are extremely desperate for a job DO NOT work here. DO NOT leave your current job to work here. No matter how bad you think your current job is trust me TWS is 10xs worse. One of the most toxic work environments ive ever worked in my entire life. I am still struggling to regulate my nervous system even after leaving. Im convinced you have to be a terrible person to work here. Leadership is nothing more than bunch of power hungry rejects who have zero credentials. Unless you thrive in chaos dont even bother. 

I really enjoyed this position, and was doing great especially being new to the education industry. Support from management team was great until company started going through changes and lost majority of upper management in a matter of just weeks.  I was let go do to downsizing, and was told it was simply just due to the fact I was the newest rep.  I was the last Admissions rep to be laid off of 5 cut.  Other than the fact there was no job security as I thought there woud be, I did greatly enjoy the company.

This company is amazing! I could not imagine a better place to work. Management really has a heart to serve their employees and their students. This is not the best money for sure. But, the job is so great, you don't care. The bennefits are impossible to beat as well. Dollar chasers will not be happy, people wanting a rewarding career with an incredible company, and care about making a difference, will never want to leave. Could not say enough good things about working here.
