Pros

-The ability to work remote -A few supportive colleagues who are also feeling the effects of this disaster

Cons

-This consultant from LSU who apparently does not know how Instructional Design really works has come in and has created a mess of everything. -Employees that were once multimedia developers and were previously in different roles are now pushed into the LXD role. No consideration was taken in the fact that these employees have no experience whatsoever being a Learning Experience Designer. -Salary is just mediocre (everyone starts off with the same salary) -Instead of promoting senior managers that have been at National University for years to roles that she created, she goes and gets two of her little LSU friends and puts them in the roles (A slap in the face to those that have been at National University for years) -Calling pod leaders out for those on their team that are not doing things the correct way. -There seem to be favorites (moles) to Ms. LSU already. -The list just goes on and on

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.
