Pros

Co workers, students, tuition benefits flexibility

Cons

There are people who post on here and give more than one star reviews to compensate for the negative reviews. You can tell who those people are. The truth of the matter is there have been lay offs and it felt horrible to see co workers/family let go at a moments notice. To be at work wondering if you could be next because of the number of years you have dedicated to the university was so stressful. I felt sick most days. I’m still nervous wondering what day will be “my” day. I don’t think there are wacky and crazy people posting on here like someone else mentioned. I understand that as a university there will be change from time to time, but there’s a way of going about that change what happened last week was wrong in many ways. I hope this was the only round of lay offs and campus closures, unfortunately when it comes to the almighty dollar I’m sure this is just the beginning.

Pros

The University has taken tangible and meaningful steps toward fulfilling its mission in an increasingly thoughtful and responsible way. There is a genuine commitment among leaders to collaborate more effectively and work together in support of shared goals. The 403(b) match is an outstanding benefit, and the PTO/sick leave offerings are equally strong and greatly appreciated.

Cons

One ongoing challenge is the imbalance between the volume of work and the number of people available to support it. Teams are highly committed, but workloads can at times exceed current staffing capacity.

Pros

The two pros of working at NU are: remote work and inexpensive healthcare benefits compared to other companies. Working from home is nice but other than that, there are no pros.

Cons

No room for growth, extremely toxic work culture, leadership micromanages but is not helpful. Everything is so poorly run and students and employees suffer because of it. Also, the pay is incredibly low - you’re doing the work of an academic advisor and a financial aid advisor but for $21 an hour. Leadership manipulates employees by crying in meetings, forces employees to be on camera for 8 hours straight, and subjects everyone to toxic positivity. This was one of the worst working environments I have ever experienced.
