I was told back in April to hand in my resignation by my manager, and then go home for the next 30 days so. Well I waited for awhile, turned in my resignation at the begnning of the month and now UOP decided to let me go. Today I was notified I was terminated from my employment. Funny thing about this is that the person in HR, sent the notification to the wrong email address. They label it as a Voluntary Resignation since you turn in your resignation. Two things about this termination is that they sent the notification to the wrong e mail address and they were not; they were in fact talking to my younger sister and she notified me.
Many people speak ill of the people who work for the UOP and not all of them are bad people. The issue arises when your manager begins to signal you out, ride you for not getting your monthly quotas, tells you that you are not ateam player, etc. I was a Team Lead, I was a Sr Enrollment Advisor and I cannot tell you how many times I was told repeatedly that I needed to enroll 15 students each month if I wanted to be in a "meets" category. Employees are on a matrix and if they do not meet the matrix, then they are hammered until they either do meet the matrix, they quit, or they are fired. Enrollment Advisors are told that they are responsible to make sure that each student gets through the first seven weeks of class, then after that any issues the student has is no longer your responibility, it is Academics and Finance.
Right now the UOP is on an internal "witch hunt" for those employees they deem are not team players. They are and do record each and every call. They track each number dialed and email sent out. They offer no additional training to help you improve, other than teleconferences which many employees use as talk time instead. They will, do and have filed complaints against employees for compliance issues and they do not care if the economy is in dire straights, they want you to enroll as many students as you can. They care only about the quantity of the job, not the quality of the job.
For those of you who have taken GEN / 101, GEN/300, or now taking GEN/200 this 3 credit class will not transfer, it is specifically designed for UOP. Also please be aware that NONE of your CORE will transfer either.
Please understand, this is information and knowledge that they do not wish to have any student know. They use tote boards, to see who has the most enrollments, who has the highest talk time, who has the highest retention and it is posted where everyone can see them. These tote boards have been deemed "illegal" by the Department of Education, yet they still use them.
Not only was I an employee, I was a student as well and the way they handled my finanial aid, (yes, they encourage employees to use financial aid) is a disaster.
Research, knowledge, and more research is all you need to make your own decision. I would not return to UOP as a student or an employee. The instructors are not certified teachers, that is why they are called facilitators. They are people who have a Masters Degree and has 2 years of current work history; these are the people who teach your ground and on line classes.
You are not being taught by a professional teacher, you are teaching yourself. As for plagarism, I know first hand that it happens.in one of my classes a class mate used a paper from one of the sites where you buy the papers, the team I was on caught it and the facilitator did nothing, just told us to cite the source. We got an A on the paper, a grade we did not legally earn.
For those who disagree with me, you are within your right, but ask your counselors about the quotas they have to make, ask your finance counselor why it takes 30-45 days to certify you for a loan when you sign your MPN; you already got the loan, ask them why your money is sitting in the account of UOP for 14 days (they earn the interest on it) then it is transferred to your student account for another 14 days (still earning the interest for UOP) and then for those who handle their own funds, it takes an additional 14 days to get to you (42) days sitting on the UOP account generating money for UOP, when in reality as soon as the money comes in and you are handling your own money, they are to release the funds to you immediately. Don't believe me, contact the Department of Educations Financial Aid department.
Do your research.
