Great professional experience; terrible pay

Faculty assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent PTO for part-time employees. Great work-life balance (at least in my department); you are not expected to work after you leave the office. Great sense of professional community.

Cons

Expect to do way more in your position than you should reasonably be expected to. Because of recent restructuring, employees wear way too many hats and do not get paid accordingly.

A mission-based community

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The staff and administrators are truly united by a strong sense of mission. Largely, managers are understanding not only of a needful work/life balance but also a work/life/church/class balance as the case often is. Those who work for Fuller are committed, and it shows. Summers have recently also featured paid reduced (i.e., four-day) workweeks. The administration goes to lengths to show its appreciation for employees.

Cons

Communication is a perennial problem, and silos abound, despite recent intentions from senior administration. Change is constant and not always coordinated among the relevant divisions and departments. This results in a fair deal of work at cross-purposes, playing catch-up and general inefficiency.

The price of tuition pays off in rigorous theological reflection

Business Outlook

Pros

Rigorous theological education, an international student body, incredible library, passionate people to learn with.

Cons

You need to be your own cheerleader at Fuller. No hand-holding and it can be difficult to get connected with people on campus. You cannot be shy here if you want to maximize the resources and make friends. Gotta be pro-active!
