Also, do you think there are any good ones? What are the pros and cons? Would you ever attend one? Would you ever hire people from one? What are you experiences with them?

"For-profit" schools are like all other businesses, no matter what they say, the customer ( or in this case, the student) will always come second to profits.
By far the most famous for-profit school is the University of Phoenix. To find out more about this school, check the article publsihed about it in the New York Times for Sunday, Feb 11, 2007
ps I think the other answer confused 'for-profit' with 'private.' Of course there are thousands of private, 'non-profit' colleges. Harvard, Duke, Uof Chicago, Stanford and other highly prestigious schools.

Do you want to leave higher education to the government? Horror of horrors!
