University of Phoenix Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"UOP is making such sweeping changes that they are letting all the good employees go. I worked for UOP for 7+ years just to see very good counselors leave because of the sweeping changes to compensation. I do not recommend the organization at this time because of the layoffs and cutbacks. Refer to Apollo stock price to get a good gauge of the health of the organization. They were once listed at $60 per share."
