From bad to worse

Pros

Many of the staff are dedicated to the mission of the college and hard-working. They are supportive and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Leadership has been and continues to be morally and managerially corrupt and bankrupt . There is no real diversity of opinion or of people which is bringing the college further down in a climate of complete mismanagement, misguidance, and mistrust. I fear daily for my job as do all of my colleagues. The situation is unbearable and only getting worse. The outlook is bleak . There is no one to trust in leadership . Everything has changed but the leadership.

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!
