I do not know where to start if you are an employee (besides management) I'm sure you will agree. This place use to be a great place to work but it has tremendously changed over the past 8months. The admissions associates are pressured intensely to enroll students they are held by a report card every week and if they do not get enough enrollments and referrals as well as students moving through the process they get a star. If an admissions associate gets 3 of these in a row they are put on a pip (performance improvement plan) for a whole year if they get 2 more stars in a row or miss there start by not having enough students sit in class then you are walked out the door (bye bye job).
The craziest thing is that we have went from approx 100 admissions reps to approx 46 in approx 6months can you say downsizing lol. This may seem quite normal to some but. What really takes the cake is they have fired all 6managers and replaced them with 2 new managers (puppets) and the two director of admissions have moved to ground campus but what is really funny is that one of them was interviewing around town right after he left. Then there is the general manager Glen that has been seen around town interviewing as well lol.
Where they made the mistake was walking out tenured managers right in front of everyone, no heads up just cut throat and now they have everyone on the floor scared for their job (that really boost employee moral). At Virginia college there are extremely unqualified up management and management, example our old Director Michelle Anderson has a GED and she has moved on to campus president in Savannah, lol how does hat happen. As for the new managers all I can say is they try, try to skate around every direct question you ask them especially Justin giacomino man thay guy loves to talk, talk about everything other than a direct answer for anything.
Mostly I think because employee morale is down and he as well as the other managers are scared for their jobs. Did I mention the whole building thinks we are shuting down so the people not getting walked out are leaving ASap, of yeah and they never give there 2weeks either because as soon as you give VC your 2weeks notice they walk you out right then... So why the hell give them any notice. For anyone that may say I am a bitter employee maybe be right only because I. Have been in the corporate sales world longer than most people here and never struggle to hit. My numbers at VC. But the fact that I. See good people walked out every other week makes me realize how much VC Really does not care about their employees or students...
Their slogan is student first and they are every but student first more like. Upper management first place the blame on everyone else and keep your job. But I guess that's what happens when you have low life under achievers in management and upper management both in finance and admissions only because they can kiss butt the best. LolAs for students do not let my words discourage you the VC program is great but the people that run it are retards. As for future employees. Run very far away I don't like seeing new people simply because I feel sorry for them because they have no idea how close they are to the unemployment office.
