Pros

Intelligent co-workers, opportunities to learn new technologies, FTO, and work from home (if outside the 50-mile radius of the office).

Cons

Over the past two years, Adtalem has been on a steady decline. At least five members of the upper leadership have left the company/resigned for one reason or another. Communication between the upper leadership and other employees is non-existent. There have been re-orgs every single year I have been employed. This is partially attributed to the ever-changing landscape of Higher Ed, but also the constant change in leadership/team vision. If you want to continue to expand your career and continue to grow professionally, this is not the place to do it. Are you a hard worker who always meets or exceeds expectations? Great, then you will be rewarded by maintaining your title/role with no signs of upward mobility. The only ways I have seen to receive a promotion are if you are the “favorite” of the manager, you perform poorly at your job, so they place you elsewhere, or you threaten to look at opportunities on another team. Salaries are lower than the market. It wasn’t until they did a market analysis three years ago that they realized most employees were underpaid. RTO, removal of summer hours, and removal of paid mental health day show that they don’t care about you as an employee. Overall, I cannot recommend working at this company.

Hi there, thank you very much for your insightful review. We are actively working with our leaders to improve the communication of important information to their teams in a timely and appropriate manner. We strive to provide an environment where our employees feel valued with lots of opportunity for upward mobility, so we are disappointed to hear this hasn't been your experience. We also take an organizational changes very seriously and recognize the impact they have on our teams, With regards to RTO, we recognize this change has been an adjustment, but we strongly believe that bringing everyone together creates an enhanced workplace culture that allows for greater in-person collaboration. We are still committed to providing flexible work with remote days on Friday and flexible time off for in-scope employees. If you have any further feedback, questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at tafeedback@adtalem.com. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

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

Covista is positioned in exactly the right industry. There is a massive, structural gap between the supply of healthcare providers and the growing market demand, which keeps our student enrollment rates incredibly strong and provides great job stability. It feels great to work for a company that genuinely helps students achieve their goals while solving a real-world problem. On top of that, leadership is highly focused on innovation—we are actively working on some really exciting AI initiatives and forward-thinking tech projects. The culture is incredibly supportive, leadership is strong and transparent, and the work-life balance is excellent. Highly recommend working here.

Cons

With rapid innovation and new tech initiatives, navigating cross-departmental alignment can sometimes take a bit of time, but it’s a natural part of a company growing and evolving in the right direction.
