Pros
Talents are nurtured, your contributions valued, and your growth is encouraged and supported. As a current employee, I can confidently share that this association provides outstanding opportunities and culture. Despite encountering challenges in the past, including turnover, department and cultural shifts, EDUCAUSE has undergone a remarkable transformation. As THE association for higher education technology, we're the connection to a community of members who are at the forefront of guiding technology's potential. Which means we are staffed with the most remarkable individuals! Definitely the best work experience I have had with colleagues. In summary, working here is not merely a job; it's an enriching journey filled with growth, collaboration, and fulfillment. The supportive environment fosters creativity and empowers individuals to achieve their full potential. At EDUCAUSE, we embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as fundamental principles, ensuring that every voice is heard, respected, and celebrated. Moreover, the benefits package provided by EDUCAUSE is competitive. From comprehensive healthcare coverage to ample opportunities for professional development to the 36-hour work week, the company invests wholeheartedly in the well-being and success of its team members. By prioritizing work-life balance and fostering a culture of appreciation, I'm really happy with what I get to do each and every day and the members I serve by supporting our mission.
Cons
Because we are a non-profit association, you will not find as many career levels (entry through expert) as you would say working for a Bank of America or Amazon. We are a fully remote association which some people love ( I personally never want to go back to an in-person office setting ) but some people may want to work in-person.
