Supportive team and great benefits, but layoffs were tough

Assistant director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits were really amazing. I had a really supportive team and everyone at DePaul was really nice to work with.

Cons

I unfortunately got laid off. I would say that management took a bit too long to come to a layoff decicion. They also had a budget crisis in late 2025 that led to benefits being cut like raises and retirement contributions. It was really tough.
