Keep looking! - Financial Aid Representative Mildred Elley Employee Review

Working for two plus years at Mildred Elley College, the administration has always been very professional and receptive to teachers' opinions. The students are all pursuing careers in the medical field and are a joy to teach. My own experience as a professor at ME is one of great fulfillment in the classroom. I also feel a part of the educational process at a higher level. The administration seeks out my input on educational matters. It is very important for a professor to be asked for input and to have one's opinions considered valuable. My immediate bosses include me in decisions and seek out my expertise in recruitment and retention of students. One of my classes is Freshman Seminar, which is the first class new students take. So it's important for me to be, in a sense, the "face of the school" to these students. I'm gratified the administration trusts me in that role. Great place to work, in the Wall Street area of Manhattan.

I wish we had other campus locations in the city.

The best part of my role is being able to help both students and staff every day. I take great pride in supporting others and ensuring that everyone is treated with fairness, respect, and care. This position allows me to make a positive impact on the school community by fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. It’s truly rewarding to see the growth and success of the people I work with and to know that I’ve played a meaningful part in their journey.

While I value my role, I’ve noticed that the company’s values don’t always align with what’s practiced day-to-day. There is a visible lack of respect at times, and some individuals tend to take on (or take advantage of) more than what’s appropriate, which can create tension and imbalance within the team. Additionally, the level of disorganization is noticeable and can affect productivity and morale. With stronger leadership and a new generation of management focused on integrity, collaboration, and accountability, I believe the school could reach its full potential and truly thrive.
