Did you have a good experience at an online school? Pros and Cons

Online College Degrees We have been studying the for-profit industry for several years now and want to get feedback regarding the industry. Below are just some of the things we have discovered so far and would like to have others give us their thoughts.
Admissions Representatives - In the early 2000's admission advisers were paid based on the number of students they can enroll. The Dept of Education finally passed rules that prohibited the payment based on enrollments (however we hear schools are just hiding this now from regulators).
Completion/Pass-Rates - With the new rules regarding gainful employment starting July 1 2016 it appears finally the government is going to be able to weed out schools that offer programs where students can't get a good paying job after graduation.
We will be updating our story this year so if you have anything to add please feel free to comment. We want to hear from schools, administrators, admissions representatives, etc.
If you are attending an online college or have graduated with a degree (but aren't working in your field)..we would like to hear from you.
