Kia Speller, Sr. Financial Aid Advisor, had similar views to the training process at ECPI University. Ms. Speller had the shortest amount of time for training. Her training was an only for three days. Her training had another obligation, so her training time was cut short. During those days, she learned very little about the company and its policies. Like Ms. Gregg, Ms. Speller also had previous experience as able to work independently after her training. She pointed out a good point during the interview as well. Being that for profit schools have been under scrutiny for their Financial Aid practices, it concerned her that the information that would be relayed could jeopardize the future of the institution. Like her colleagues, Ms. Speller expressed her frustration to her manager, but the policies were never implemented. Her manager left the company before any changes were made. Overall, the views that the employees had was the same. They felt like the training that they received was inadequate and needs improving. There wasn’t a set time for training nor was the training for each individual cohesive. Every department at ECPI University Online Division are required to work together when assisting the students, yet all of the interviewees felt as though the communication between the departments was
