Distance Learning Systems Program Administrator reviews

Oh where do I begin… blatant favoritism. The policies for the sales reps apply to everyone, except one employee. Said 1 employee is allowed to steal leads from every other rep with no repercussions, they’re allowed to lie to students on their cell phone to prevent the calls from being recorded, and nothing punitive has ever happened to them. Academics knows this person lies for every enrollment and management flat out does not care. This is why we have the bad reviews we do. This employee also works from home despite there being a clear work from home policy that we all signed, and nobody is anywhere close to meeting the requirements. The money is way off. The indeed posting says something like 60-75k a year, and all the sales reps (except for those random employees that were given a higher base salary from upper management) are lucky to break 50. You will not make 60-75k a year, you won’t even be close. Upper management lies and they are unwilling to listen to anything the actual salespeople have to say. The good reviews we have were put online by the owners friends, they’re all fake. Our whole goal is just to lock students into a paper ‘loan’ so they can write it off on taxes as a loss.

1. There is a reason the building this "company" resides in DOES NOT show their name on the outside ANYWHERE. 2. Being paid commission to sell general education classes that ONLY transferred into one of Distance Learning "partner colleges" 3. Consumers signing Retail Installment loan contracts at 21% interest rate NOT FAFSA (Federal Student loans/grants) because they are NOT accredited. Their "partner colleges" are accredited (most are anyway) but if the contract is terminated (which several have been) then the consumer/client is in debt from anywhere between $6,000 - $18,000 on general education classes. 4.These same classes can be taken at any community college for 1/3rd of the cost and utilizing FAFSA loans/grants. But we were to sell them a "guaranteed spot" in a Nursing program versus taking their chances at a local ground campus with very heavy requirements and limited available spots to enroll. What I heard being sold to these consumers was nothing short of LIES. While enrolled in these "general education classes at DLS" (which not 1 online teacher is located in the US) they had to start repaying for the loan. a)Example: Distance Learning monthly retail loan payments anywhere from $350 - $800/month for general education classes FREE down the street without being sold a guaranteed spot in the Nursing program. Then 80% of the nursing students are "on track" for a Florida school. This school is also, NOT accredited. So they will be paying out of pocket as they go. Nursing school tuition is $30,000 that has to be paid WHILE you are in Nursing school and before you can graduate. Plus, travel to FL 4 times in a year for weeks at a time. THIS info is being left out. THE more classes we sold - the more commission we made. There lies the problem. These consumers are uneducated and Distance Learning takes advantage of those individuals - puts them in consumer debt - and cannot guarantee what they promise. 5.Upper management: sleeps with employees/2 hr hotel lunch breaks, day drinking/drugs. The Director of Sales would do his Narcissistic walking through the call center with comments meant to be a warning for anyone who doesn’t drink the kool-aid. 6.Co-workers: petty, back stabbing, when you get paid by sell you already know the environment - they also bragged about trying to scare a previous employee from going to Dept. Of Education with her complaints, they said Director even called her ex-husband who she was currently divorcing to speak about her and cause issue to distract her from this mission. What kind of place of employment does this? 7.Salary alone will get you qualified for government assistance 8.DO not WORK or SIGN up for classes - NOTHING is guaranteed - they loose partnerships and you will be stuck with English/Math/Gov classes that you can only wipe your butt with the grade or relocate to an available option 9.THERES a REASON they DO NOT have their name on the building - they do not want to be found 10.Yes, my incoming hiring group was asked to go on Glass Door and give a glowing review about Distance Learning as well (like below) because “it will only help our sales to bury the truth I mean negative”
