Depends what you expect to get out of it. It's unlikely to result in a better job once you finish, but if you want to learn the basic MBA curriculum you could do a lot worse. You might be better off just self studying and copping a CFA depending on your interests.

The online programs tend not to give out scholarships, so between the employer and the student, they're paying full price. I'm sure many are fully or partially sponsored, but certainly not all.

I'd guess it's beneficial if you're not in business already and want a career change. Otherwise I doubt you'll make much more money

Roommate went from an accounting to consultant with an online Drexel or Temple MBA (forgot which one). Seems worth it...company paid for it and as soon as she got it she bounced for a consulting firm.

Unless you're guaranteed a raise and promotion at you current job, none of these online programs are worth it. Most of the reason for doing an MBA is the recruiting, and I don't think anyone is recruiting any online MBA student. UIUC's full time program isn't even very good. Run, run as fast as you can.

Guy I know completed his online MBA through some fly by night conferrer, left Patagonia corporate where he had been in management for the past six years, and went to work for a very small financial services firm, all within six months.

It always perplexed me why he had left Patagonia right as he was finally equipping himself with more impressive letters to be put next to his name, i.e., why not stay on with the huge company where advancement opportunities would surely be greater than at some tiny boutique, but he's a strange fellow.

Maybe. At minimum I don't think the board has a good sense of what it takes to do well at a lower f500 company. It doesn't take much is the answer

Is this thing worth doing? Currently work as an "analyst" at a F500. Company would pay $5K/yr, so I'd only be out my time, no $$.

Employer would pay. It's not like I'd get the cash if it's not spent on $chool. It's just a question of whether or not it's worth my time to listen to the lectures, do hmwk, etc. vs. hustling & trying to start a side gig.
