I am getting the impression that few people have the courage to come forward about Corinthian Colleges--either as workers, former workers, students, or former students. Apparently this company has created a culture of fear, harassment, and silence--along with fraudulent and criminal behavior. Am I wrong here? From what I gather, COCO has many of the characteristics of Enron, except they have the experience of knowing how to silence the government as well as workers (they even hired a lawyer who successfully prosecuted Enron). I doubt that this strategy will last more than a few more years. What do workers and students think?

To ann 5609... If your referring to Jeanette McClellan at the bremerton campus that's putting it mildly.. She is the most unethical lying deceitful person I have ever met. She has upper management fooled ...but trust me we the employees at bremerton see right through her bullshit. Unethical and being the DOF is not a good combination. She loves to intimidate and harass employees hiding behind her lack of professional attire all the while she is a big con artist. Talks about her staff who she claims to love. She is a joke. Students know it, staff knows it, too bad management is too stupid to see it. Wake up Meredyth RVPO your a walking idiot, and your screaming at employees is gonna catch up with you too.

Camden Kid you are correct, as a former employee of over 20 years I can recount events that would Enron look like Disneyland. I was leary of Jack and bob when they first came on board and it turns out I was right. CCi is a terrible place to work, you don't realize how bad it is until you work for a company that's run appropriately. I refused their insulting severance package and am in the process of suing them. Cci culture is like being in an abusive relationship. I pity the students and employees that are their victims without a voice. I choose to do something about it. If for no other reason then to look them in the eye on the stand and bring to light all the shit they did to people.
CCI is the biggest scam ever. They prey on low income, single parents and people with disability. Everyone is excepted as long as you have a social security number and qualify for financial aid. The school are only nationally accredited, so no credits transfer. It's very sad, I'm ashamed that I even accepted a position with this company. We were told to tell the students that we are with them every step of the way, but as soon as they enrolled and financial aid cleared the receptionist wouldn't allow the students to come back to see admissions. SMH. The culture is terrible, you have to ask to go to the bathroom, they ask why are you out of your seat, we were trained to just smile and dial. Get as many ppl as possible to enroll in a program that they have no chance of getting a job. The teachers are the worst. No real education, former Everest students, get into fight with students, etc..
Camden...Giant Senn Delaney mood elevator and accountability ladder posters are tacked up everywhere on campus so that you can make sure you follow them. If you have any mood lower than high, well you are marched to a higher up to see what your problem is, and of course, it's always YOUR problem. It's like living in a bleeping cult. Here is a few words from the Senn Delaney site: http://www.senndelaney.com/faq_main.html.....Question: What is the transfer of competence process?
Answer: The Transfer of Competence process is designed to transfer not only the facilitation skills but the capabilities for long-term reinforcement and application of your company's culture-shaping process to internal facilitators who become certified in the Senn Delaney process. This cost-effective model enables companies with thousands of employees to reach a critical mass of people to ensure that the desired culture and those behaviors that will support the culture, structure and strategies (((become a way of life.)))....No surprise people aren't talking...they've been programmed to believe everything is their fault, not that of the company. Such B.S.
FEAR is the way of life at CCI. while they smile at you, they threaten you without saying a word. They promote the worthless or those who possess the greatest amount of brown nosing skills and corner the everyday employee who just wants to do their job. The climate of fear has always been a motivator at CCI.
Totally agree with you. They even fear people into what they write on social network sites. Jeannette makes all of her staff set their FB to private and they make us fear that if we talk to ANYONE about the business we will be in serious trouble. Although she can sit and talk about anyone and does so all the time but we are not allowed to. She won't even let us talk to other workers unless it's brief passing in the hall.
Camden Kid- Simply put, CCi is not as sensational as you'd like to believe.
