Pros

This college has stayed true to its mission of serving adult learners close to 50 years. The stories we hear at commencement of how Excelsior College made it possible for these graduates to achieve their dreams is truly remarkable! The college has traditionally and employee friendly culture!

Cons

Excelsior College is not immune to the challenges facing the higher education environment. The College had to go through some recent reorganization and restructuring to consolidate and tighten business operations. This has had a tremendous impact on employee morale and engagement!

Pros

The benefits are better than average, most staff are very passionate about the mission

Cons

The college has had a challenging couple years, made much worse by the fact that the current administration is making really poor decisions. It is sad to watch how quickly things have fallen apart after the departure of the former president. There is no strategy or vision for the future, just reductions and knee jerk reactions. Most of the executive leadership has walked out the door in the past six months. Those that remain seem in over their heads. There is a lot of tenure at the college, but at this point, almost everyone is looking for other jobs.
