Company peaked years ago, now it's all downhill

Campus/division systems technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible environment, not much micro-managing going on. Great co-workers and IT management staff (until they were all let go or outsourced) Was a fun and upbeat place to work until 2009-2010. Now it's all doom and gloom.

Cons

The last few years the company has been losing money and stick prices have plummeted. This has led to severe cost cutting measures. Every IT role that isn't working on the student online platform is at risk of being outsourced. Company does not value it's employees, considers them replaceable parts. Business model is failing badly and the same people that got the company into this mess are still running the show.

Great at first, until you realize there is no growth.

Business Outlook

Pros

A good work/life balance is promoted and benefits are great. Lower management is communicative. Campus culture is strong and the company is very customer service oriented for the student.

Cons

The IT department is treated as expendable, although this is an attitude mainly shared by upper management. Top talent is leaving due to the lack of career progression. Office politics make it impossible to actually get a promotion. HR is the scapegoat for everything. You would almost think HR does absolutely nothing or just doesn't exist. Pays below market. Don't let them fool you.

NOT for creative people

Pros

Um. At a loss, here.

Cons

Processes get in the way of good creative thinking. Creative management do not stand behind their team. Creative resource management is totally unqualified to match talent to creative projects.
