Pros

Flexible time off, multiple holiday time off, and the benefits were fairly good. And the amazing and understanding colleagues that directly worked with.

Cons

Don't do it - don't apply here. The company itself, even during some of its most trying times, has gone significantly downhill. The C-Suite is only worried about making money. This was conveyed time and time again in their so-called Town Halls; and even when the "lower-level" colleagues worked so very hard to admit new students and to keep retention of their students in order to show profits all the CEO could say was "Keep It Up." There was little to no celebrations for the profits for the colleagues that actually did the work. But instead, they got to watch the CEO and his buddies repeat the same thing on the Town Halls. And instead of celebrating and rewarding, colleagues were required to return to the office, not one, not two, but three days a week. Most, had already had remote work prior to the COVID outbreak, maybe only coming in once a day. And to my understanding they have added an additional fourth day. From my experience, there was very little collaborating happening, but lots of chit chat in large open spaces OR colleagues on the same call, sitting only two desks away from each other. Good Luck getting a conference room when you need one for student privacy reasons. The company stopped recognizing colleagues that had reached milestones in their employment - for example 5 years, 10 years, etc. OH wait, they did start to list them on this site that colleagues rarely used. In one of their recent round of layoffs, it was quite evident looking at those that were given notice that they were making too much and the company did not want to pay the upcoming merit increase to them. Adtalem will tell you that that the positions were not necessary in the upcoming restructure. When Student Advisors were removed from Chamberlain campuses, students went without help and were forced to sit on the phone waiting for an advisor. Complaints were made by students, due to the lack of assistance or the lengthy wait times but nope, those advisors were not put back on campuses. I can't imagine walking into a campus but still have to call a call center to get the help I need.

We have also recently launched a new employee recognition tool to highlight the great work our colleagues do everyday. On a final note, thank you for your feedback regarding our student support on campus. Our advisors work hard to provide students with the support they need, but we are always open to improvement and will share this with our team internally.

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.
