Pros

Every day is an important day at Everglades University! We are on a mission individually and collectively to make a high impact on people's lives and on their families. Seeing prospective students become graduates (and seeing their families so proud of them) is very galvanizing and worth the discipline we put in every single day even when some days get exhausting due to life's demands.

Cons

Cons? It is a matter of perspective. There are challenges. True leaders see challenges as opportunities for development, progress, and/or greatness. Yes, as humans, it is hard to stay risen, and, hence, discipline is paramount. Applying the law of congruence is necessary: We must train our minds to be positively persistent, irrespective of the challenges, because positive thinking/approach begets positive results, and when this becomes an unshakable habit, we will not have a defeatist attitude. Ever. Success is not an event or a destination; it is a journey.

Pros

Working in Admissions has been a wonderful experience! The environment is incredibly positive, and everyone is friendly and helpful. There is a strong sense of teamwork. No matter what comes up there is someone always willing to help, and what makes it even more meaningful is that students always come first. You get to help students make a positive impact in their lives and achieve goals that they have set for themselves. There is also a lot of room for growth within the University. Multiple counselors and staff from other departments have been promoted to senior level positions within their first year. I enjoy coming to work every day and being part of such a supportive and encouraging team.

Cons

There are none that I can think of.

Pros

For the most part, I like most my coworkers and majority of the leadership team. Majority of the time they are pretty understanding if I call out. You are granted 10 days of paid vacation after you hit the 3 month mark. They also order lunch for us every other week. If you truly want to improve, leadership will help you. You won’t be micromanaged IF you prove your worth. Don’t get it twisted, this is a SALES job, not an administrative job. And the majority of the people that give negative reviews for the Admissions Counselor position do so because they sucked at sales and got fired or quit because they sucked at sales.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. I’ve been here less than a year and 80% of the department quit within the small time I’ve been here. The director likes to “micro-bully” meaning if she thinks you are not productive she will micromanage you to the point of you quitting. Even IF you are a top performing employee, there is virtually no room for growth or raises unless you are one of the director’s goody-goodys. Saw ACs with the highest metrics get denied raises even when they were the top performers in the department. Constant changes that are complete wastes of time and hindrances to productivity. The new enrollment site is so bad that it won’t allow you to process applications, payments, and submit documents correctly causing you to do double the work because it was never beta tested and launched with zero quality control. Too many pointless meetings.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your thorough review. You are correct that our Admissions Counselors are vital to our support of new students and growth of the university. There is an annual review process to recognize and support our team members to advancement opportunities. The expectations of the role are explained in great detail during the hiring process and new hire Admissions training. In your review you mention being a current team member, please feel free to contact VP of Enrollment Management, Ryan Heintz, to discuss your feedback.
