Pros

you will meet some great people and you will bond because you are all suffering together

Cons

everything else - the pay is horrible - after 6 years of working 60 + hour weeks I finally hit 50,000. As a salary employee you have to clock in/out, they will give you schedules that are detrimental to your health - work a 15 hour day and get off at 11 pm, must be back at 7:30 am the next day for another LONG day. Your schedule changes every 5 weeks so good luck actually having a life and being able to plan things. Do you want to move up at this company? Either kiss someone's butt or be prepared to sleep with the higher ups - this place treats employees like slaves which is obviously reflected in the high turnover. Also - students do NOT come first - students' MONEY comes first - they will do everything they can to get anyone to sign up for classes and then they insist you pass them through so they can continue to cash in on their student loans - working at this place will not only be detrimental to your health but will also do a number on your ethical beliefs. Even if you have a family to feed and care for, they will respect you more if you find a different job where they actually treat humans like they matter and aren't just in it to steal students' money and act like faculty are slaves. Run as far away from this place as you can.

Pros

Some wonderful people within the campuses

Cons

Leadership is clueless, its like a cult. Family owned- make their own rules. Micromanage everything you do. You are overworked. Ideas - CANT HAVE THEM! There are no growth opportunities. Reviews and Raises come if and when they allow it. They promote individuals that have no business being leaders. It is literally the worst place to ever work. They definitely ruin your confidence and make you think you are ignorant. Harassment, bullying, politics runs ramped in the campuses. If you go to HR you will have a target on your back on top of nothing being done accept an apology. Beware of this place. It is going nowhere unfortunately.

Pros

great relationships with staff, faculty and students...not management

Cons

This company is strictly based on getting money from the students no matter the cost to faculty and staff. They overwork and underpay staff and faculty with no appreciation.

ECPI University Response

Thank you for your comments. It's unfortunate you have negative opinion about management. ECPI University has been serving students for over 50 years. Our Newport News campus has been seen tremendous growth the past few years and they have had the ability to offer new educational programs. In addition, the university acknowledges the best faculty instructors at our annual faculty conference. Of course, we can always look at other ways to recognize all our hard working faculty and staff.
