Ticked off because 2U is broken

2U's learning system is broken and they can't staff enough people to handle all of the issues. Don't know where executive leadership is spending the boatload of money it makes from students, but it isn't hiring people. We can't continue on this... — read more

"Steer clear for your own sanity"

Admissions Counselors at 2U perform work much closer to fraud telemarketing than "counseling." The volume bleeds the human element out of every phone call because you will constantly be striving to hit metrics and enrollment goals. As an AC, you... — read more
