Supportive environment but communication can be unclear

Pros

Everyone is very supporting of each other.

Cons

Sometimes changes are not communicated to employees very quickly or clearly, which can cause confusion, and sometimes people in other departments try to tell you what to do without understanding what your job is and without authority to do so.

Pros

I'm very fortunate to be on a very good team with a very good leader. This is job is difficult by virtue of motony, but I am fortunate enough to have teammates who care about the team and students. So far, I've been treated very well by everyone at South University.

Cons

It's a tough gig. You scale a mountain of rejection each day to try to find a foothold. Judging by what I've read here, I lucked into a really good manager because all jobs have detractors, but my Director is very good and I feel very supported.
