Strong leadership, meaningful mission, and exciting tech innovation

Pros

Covista is positioned in exactly the right industry. There is a massive, structural gap between the supply of healthcare providers and the growing market demand, which keeps our student enrollment rates incredibly strong and provides great job stability. It feels great to work for a company that genuinely helps students achieve their goals while solving a real-world problem. On top of that, leadership is highly focused on innovation—we are actively working on some really exciting AI initiatives and forward-thinking tech projects. The culture is incredibly supportive, leadership is strong and transparent, and the work-life balance is excellent. Highly recommend working here.

Cons

With rapid innovation and new tech initiatives, navigating cross-departmental alignment can sometimes take a bit of time, but it’s a natural part of a company growing and evolving in the right direction.

Greed, Corruption, and Unethical Business Practices

Pros

Peers are wonderful. There are some managers that care about their employees as well. Bevi machine in the office is cool.

Cons

Not only have I never worked for a company that cared less about its employees, but I have never even heard of one. It truly is THAT bad. Greed, a lack of empathy, negligence, corruption, exploitation, discrimination, and favoritism are the actual values of the company, regardless of their claims otherwise. The company has also made it abundantly clear that it doesn't care about the students that it serves, either. Covista's schools are extremely expensive, and revenue is increasing. Despite that, its employees are underpaid, undervalued, and overworked. But don't worry guys, it's fair, because the CEO only made 18 MILLION DOLLARS last year (this is public information). Like I said, greed and corruption run rampant and deep at this place.
