It is sad to say, but the time has come to agree with the naysayers on this site. The right thing to do is to close Zenith, refund the $$$ to the students we are currently stealing from and move on. Zenith leadership could not have handled the transition worse. They bet on losers like Mike and Troy (remember those two). Then there is Josh and Heidi. I remember their smirky little faces during and right after the acquisition. Two snot nose brats who thought they knew it all. How did that work out for them. Remember how easy Josh made marketing sound? How is that working out for him? Josh cost more people their jobs than any one person should. When Dave realized the train was quickly coming off the tracks, he sprang into action and tried to cover up their mess by bringinging together a leadership team of outsiders that had no experience, One of the top VPs in an education company did not even have a degree. CCi would not hire a director that did not have a degree! Then the icing on the cake, turn over the organization to Kim Dean...WTF was he thinking? Dave, one thing is certain, you do not know talent when you see it! What do you think dave did when considering who to put in charge? It must of went something like this...let's see, who at CCi screwed up everything they were ever put in charge of? I got it! Now do not get me wrong. I do not blame KIm. I would have taken the job just like she did. However, we are today living with many of her bad decisions. Look at the condition of our campuses based on her recommendations to restructure. She kept and promoted her friends and not necessarily the people who best fit the position. Hence you end up with no DOAs, not enough staff and a failed high school person who Gaetano shielded for years running admissions! I have never been in admissions and when I am on calls with Cochran I know she is clueless. Again, I would have taken the job if I was her but again we are left to clean up after her. She cannot even turn to anyone for help because her boss Burkhalter knows less about admissions than she does # lotsofpeopledoingjobstheyarenotqualifiedtodo. Wyotech is no better. Anyone with admissions talent has left the building. They are running a failed field program and Dave G is a disaster and should be removed from his position yesterday.
Today you have X # of schools left. They are run down and we are as someone said in a previous post all but cheating people out of their hard earned dollars. It will cost me my paycheck, but I hope the DOE points their gun at Zenith next.
