My employer provides tuition assistance and I recently decided to take advantage of that by going back to school to work on an M.S. in Finance. However, I almost decided not to go back because while working on my M.B.A. (which I finished in 2003), I had nothing but problems with the whole tuition reimbursement process. However, I decided it would be a shame to pass up the opportunity solely because I don’t like dealing with them. Today, I’m re-thinking…. Ugggghhhhh.
So… they cover application fees and I submitted the paperwork for the application fee on 11/1. First of all, they told me it takes 2-3 weeks. It’s due 11/15, so I don’t have that long. When I talked to someone though, he was nice enough to tell me that although they say to allow 2-3 weeks, it was currently averaging 3-5 days, so I should be fine.
They reviewed the application on 11/4. That was good, but unfortunately, they marked it “incomplete” and asked me to re-submit. The comments say the dates were missing… which they weren’t!!?? So, I re-submitted and sent along an email asking them to tell me specifically what was missing. Their response (which I just received today): “The dates were missing, but it looks like they are there now, so we will review and get you a response in 2-3 weeks”. Although I know they are really only taking 3-5 days right now… the point is they screwed up… I have no idea what they were looking at the first time… and the 11/15 date is fast approaching. So irritating!!
