Pros

The opportunity to work with students who most need help.

Cons

The attitude of the institution is apathetic to downright hostile to the student body. Tuition continues to rise while student services are being gutted (and teacher pay remains stagnant at an hourly rate). Students are admitted regardless of academic ability, aptitude, or stability in their life. Incoming students are routinely lied to by admissions reps and administration in order to fill the class size. As enrollment has steadily shrunk, the lies have become bolder and more brazen. Furthermore, education (as it does in many for-profit schools) takes a back seat to marketing. This applies to budgets, as well as general culture. For example, class load for teachers change on a semester basis with little to no notice. This makes it difficult to build a career around this institution, as it demands professionalism from its employees yet provides none. Unsurprisingly, they are currently under investigation for fraud. Please think twice before agreeing to work for this institution.

Pros

I've loved working at the Swedish Institute. The teachers are dedicated and wildly intelligent. The Dean and Assistant Dean of the massage program are incredibly supportive and kind. They are truly devoted to each student's success every step of the way.

Cons

None, it's been a great community and I feel lucky to be a part of their team.

Pros

Nice benefits, positive environment, appreciating hard work

Cons

The higher-ups at the company seem not to have the best interests of any of the employees or students in mind. The bottom line is all that matters, and the President is often getting in the way of hard work. So much turn-over in the staff has caused a small crisis that is noticed by all.
