Pros

Flexible hours, good PTO, great people to work with,

Cons

Working at Adralem was wonderful for the first few years. I felt valued as an employee and the benefits were great. Since Steve Beard took over as CEO, things have gone down hill. Student service is no longer a focus, everything is about making more money. Morale is at an all-time low since RTO was announced nearly 3 months ago, with very little details announced other than “all employees, M-Th”. This is especially disappointing, as many colleagues were fully remote before Covid. They’re taking away a benefit that drew many employees here, while merit increases that are inconsistent and don’t keep up with the cost of living. I went from thinking I’d work here 5-10 more years, maybe longer, to feeling forced like I have to quit.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We understand the announcement of return to office has been an adjustment for many of our colleagues. Adtalem is committed to building a strong workplace culture to increase our capacity for collaboration and better serve our students and employer partners. While we are expanding our in-office days to include Monday through Thursday for colleagues who are in scope, we will continue to offer in-scope colleagues the flexibility to work remotely on Fridays.

Pros

Hardworking. caring colleagues who genuinely care for our students and one another

Cons

Senior (c-suite) leaders are tone-deaf to those on the frontlines. Numerous changes over the past year that have significant negative impact on colleagues work/life balance. Most notably the implementation of a "RTO" policy for colleagues within a 50-mile radius of an office. However for many they are being asked to report to an office after being fully-remote far before the pandemic. Bi-annual employee engagement survey results are given lip-service at best. Annual merit increases have been dismal however the company continues to report solid earnings. (I had to deliver a 1/2% annual increase to a "Fully Effective" employee). recently!) This used to be a GREAT place to work! Sadly, those days are long gone! Colleagues are leaving in droves.
