Getting the best deal
What's a good deal for a settlement with Apollo Group/University of Phoenix? I cannot confirm this, but I believe there are several components to the equation: (1) status in the company, (2) documented and verifiable information about the company and... — read more
The We Rise campaign is a lie
"A degree is a degree" is not true if you are a UOP or any other for profit graduate. Employers laugh when they receive resumes with these fake schools.
Wake up Apollo!
This company will go extinct. One might wonder why? The company witnessed a growth spurt between roughly 2005 and peaking around 2010. As the company expanded, more and more managers were brought on as well as employees. Fast forward about six years... — read more

Earnings call next week... Tick tock.... Enrollment way down.... Tick tock.... No reason to pay reps $60k when the market pays an average of $45k... Tick tock.... It's only a matter of time... The Weeper is coming to take you all away....
Enrollment numbers are down. Who has suggestions?
We all know enrollment numbers are down. I think it would be a good idea to have a focus group with some of the enrollment counselors to hear their ideas. I also think it would help to get a group of UoPhx executives to spend a month or a couple... — read more
11 Stockholder Lawsuits Involve "Aggressive" Recruiting of Vets
All eleven current stockholder lawsuits mention the aggressive recruiting that University of Phoenix used, on military posts, which were against MOUs and President Obama's Executive Order 13607. The various schemes against military personnel and... — read more
All the big conference rooms have been booked by HR Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday.
ACMs and FMs were told to cancel any meetings they had for those days. Is it a RIF? Is it a dual role roll out? We shall see...Good luck StAS.
Read this if you've posted on this site....
It's shocking the comments people make in regard to UOP employees who have dedicated years of their lives to UOP. This is a stressful time for all UOP employees. Rather than bashing our peers and listing their names on this site why not band together... — read more

I heard from a bird that Dallas, San Diego, and Phoenix will be the only campuses left after Quarter 3.
Signs that UoPX may not turn around
There are several signs that UoPX may not around. In fact, University of Phoenix appears to be following a flight path already been taken by Corinthian Colleges and its successor, debt collector ECMC. These bad signs include: (1) being bought by a... — read more
How did this guy get a job?
My manager and I spend the morning yesterday printing off emails Brett Romney has sent his "leadership". Let's just say I know where he got his edumacation from. He does not write in complete sentences, nor does he understand it is versus it's. I am... — read more
Targeting Military and Veterans (Who Knew?)
Does anyone know how high the decisions were made to violate the Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) for military posts? It seems to me that decisions like this had to be made at the top of the Military Division, if not higher. In case you don't know... — read more
Everyone has a target
Ours was inner city young mothers. Minorities, on public assistance, varying motivation levels to actually get a job. Good chunk were functionally illiterate because the school sucks. The social skills required for a workplace were non-existent. Had... — read more

The "We Rise" campaign is a joke
A "degree is a degree" is not true. If you attend a for-profit cesspool, you're labeled a dipshit by your formerly educated co-workers.
Think we should head over to the Academic side to mention a few completely useless people. Although none match finance, some have gone above and
beyond in the world of doing nothing. Lynn, great job, zoning out in your office all day doing what or on what, who knows but it must be good. Ricci, it is a wonder you are not knocked up for the 10th time abusing the leave policy. Melissa, you are... — read more

Well Tedd, you better pray that your Broadway career takes off soon considering the very guy that passed you up has your name on the chopping
block. How does it make you feel being passed up by a guy who is a known cokehead and all around scumbag. I bet it digs deep having to face that douche bag daily. I can't believe you did not quit after they pulled that. Funny how they planted that... — read more

Lawsuits: University of Phoenix Aggressively Recruited Military Service Members

Too many managers and directors
There are still managers that have 5 to 12 people on their team and literally do nothing but do homework in cube or go to the gym all day. So many lazy ass managers/directors that do nothing to create revenue are the leading reason for the poor poor... — read more

Meeting in building 4 today.
Does anyone know what the meeting in building 4 was all about today? I am just curious. It was like all finance managers and academic managers.
Maybe someone with the new company will see through the haze and realize these people are nothing but paycheck leeches.
Funny, I can relate to the previous posters dilemma in relation to the finance management team. I worked with this group of deadbeats two years ago before moving on. I had the same questions. How could this many people continue to collect a check... — read more
When will a former UoP VP write the first expose?
Former co-founder John D. Murphy has written about the downfall of University of Phoenix in "Mission Forsaken." But I'm sure there is a better book to be written, especially if one can detail the inner-workings of University of Phoenix over a... — read more
So much dead weight you could float the Titanic
The house needs to be cleaned in general. Each AC and FA manager should have roughly 40 employees under each one of them. Each school has a dean and they do not do much of anything either. However, a dean is needed to put down on paper to make the... — read more
