Pros
There are a few good apples among the rotting bushels. I went here for school, was a student worker, and then hired on in a full-time role. This is a similar trajectory to a lot of people who work for Upper Iowa. Classes are easy, instructors don’t care. You can get a degree with little effort, but be prepared to graduate with few job skills.
Cons
It's bad leadership, plain and simple. They delegate everything and throw their team under the bus when things don’t go well. VPs are "so busy" but somehow are constantly surprised by news from their direct reports because they're not on top of things. There are hires based on their last name or who they’re friends with, not on merit. This happens everywhere to an extent, but the problem at Upper Iowa is that the nepotism hires don’t know how to do their job. On second thought, maybe this is more comforting for THE BAD LEADERSHIP, because they also don’t know how to do their job.
