Pros

One of the few pros from working at Adtalem (Covista), was when they used to have Summer Fridays and truly cared about their employees.

Cons

One of the biggest downsides of working for this organization was the lack of transparency from leadership, including the C-suite, VPs, directors, and direct supervisors. The company describes itself as “fast-paced,” but much of that appears to stem from high turnover rather than healthy growth. Layoffs and job eliminations seem to be common. In my experience, advancement often depended more on office politics than performance. There was limited opportunity for growth unless you were favored by upper management, and favoritism in promotions was noticeable during my time there. Leadership turnover was also frequent, which created instability. Many senior leaders seemed disconnected from day-to-day realities and often remained in their roles for only a year or two before being replaced or removed. Compensation was below market value, and annual merit increases were often delayed to the following year, with raises typically capped around 4–5% despite heavy workloads and expectations. It was also difficult to raise concerns openly. Speaking with directors or challenging the status quo could backfire, which discouraged honest communication. Overall, I would not recommend this organization unless you are in urgent need of employment and are comfortable with low pay, limited growth opportunities, and feeling undervalued.

Pros

Covista is an organization that has a clear vision and does well in actively pursuing that vision. Covista is willing to adapt, try new things, and trusts its employees to find success. When Covista has fallen short of goals, they have been honest about it, quickly pivoted to address those areas, and then celebrate when we achieve goals. Overall - I am very happy here at Covista. My favorite part of working here is the people. Covista has a culture in which care isn't a buzzword, but is practiced.

Cons

I do wish Covista was more relaxed with RTO expectations. I am not angry about it, and generally am in favor for an in office experience, but wish it was not 4 days a week. 3 days a week feels right. This is a very small 'con' as generally, I am very pleased with Covista.

Pros

My colleagues are amazing. Everyone is fully dedicated to their work and our mission.

Cons

Without a doubt, top leadership is corrupt and driven by profit. They do not care about their staff and only care about themselves. The CEO literally made $17,244,988 in total compensation for the 2025 fiscal year; however, there were countless of hardworking colleagues who were let go. I am not sure how to make sense of that and why someone can make so much and be so heartless. I say this, as I know many senior leaders at the individual university level who were let go just because he woke up one day and wanted to go in a different direction. The schools are run by the CEO who is an attorney and has no concept when it comes to healthcare other than increasing tuition to vulnerable students who might otherwise not have an opportunity to earn a degree. It is sickening. I wish shareholders would replace the CEO, but he is untouchable given how much revenue he was brought in. He can host his town halls to try to relate to us, but everyone sees through him.
