Pros

It’s too easy to get a job here. Like, anyone can. You’ll be able to tell by how limited trainings there are.

Cons

Their social justice values are a complete joke here. I’ve sat in on countless meetings where I had to listen to other faculty blatantly make fun of students who had learning disabilities and challenges, neurodivergence, and had biased vendettas against students that they didn’t like. And the pay is garbage and you will be overworked. If you attempt to set a boundary, you’ll receive pressure in the form of emails making you feel guilty for not being a team player, and text messages to your private phone during off hours. They will nose into your personal affairs expecting you to tell them why you are out on leave, and constantly violate boundaries by assigning projects you aren’t qualified to successfully accomplish, expect you to travel across the country for residencies regardless of ADA status, and trade your leave time with other faculty members without telling you first. There’s a reason there have been about 20 faculty members who have quit in the past year.

Cons

My experience working at Antioch University was deeply disappointing and emotionally draining. While the institution markets itself as progressive and student-centered, the internal work culture tells a very different story. The most pervasive issue is the toxic leadership culture. Upper and middle management often lack transparency and accountability, with decisions made behind closed doors and little regard for faculty input. Criticism—no matter how constructive—is discouraged, and those who speak up are often marginalized or penalized. This creates an atmosphere of fear, compliance, and mistrust. Burnout is high, and little is done to retain talent. Many employees I worked with either left voluntarily or were pushed out due to the unsustainable conditions and alleged retaliation. Antioch may have a rich history and strong mission on paper, but the internal reality is far from it. I would not recommend this institution as a workplace for anyone seeking a healthy, respectful, or growth-oriented environment. Right now there are lay offs, the clinics are closing, and there are big concerns about the future of the organization. Support for diversity appeared performative-be careful.
