"I was employed at University of Phoenix for 4 years performing Enrollment/Admissions duties. The people are REALLY passionate about helping students achieve their educational goals while balancing work/family responsibilities. As a Senior Military Advisor, I felt honored to be working with these great men and women who sacrifice so much to keep our country safe. These "TRUE HEROES" not only earned their educational benefits but also deserved to be treated with dignity and respect for their dedication to this country. University of Phoenix continues to offer great opportunities for our service personnel."
