No room for growth and toxic work culture

Academic and finance advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The two pros of working at NU are: remote work and inexpensive healthcare benefits compared to other companies. Working from home is nice but other than that, there are no pros.

Cons

No room for growth, extremely toxic work culture, leadership micromanages but is not helpful. Everything is so poorly run and students and employees suffer because of it. Also, the pay is incredibly low - you’re doing the work of an academic advisor and a financial aid advisor but for $21 an hour. Leadership manipulates employees by crying in meetings, forces employees to be on camera for 8 hours straight, and subjects everyone to toxic positivity. This was one of the worst working environments I have ever experienced.
