Strayer University reviews

Management is very incompetent, many times managers have never received management training so they dont know how to manage and many are uneducated. In working for a university a campus director should know the difference between there and their for example.

Many people who have been there for 10+ years are treated poorly. Anyone seeking a position of power will have to compromise in order to attain that. This place was wonderful to work for prior to the current administration. The CEO is really not interested in the day to day anymore. What's worse, is the COO, who is waiting in the wings, may be one of the worst leaders I've seen. He could run this company straight into the ground. Taking away floating holidays and eliminating certain benefits disguised as "for the good of the employee" is not a sound management policy, regardless of who you are. While employees may be underpaid, many of them are not foolish. While Academics genuinely cares, they take a backseat to the Operational leadership. Because at the end of the day, its ALL about numbers. This is said point blank in meetings, with the caveat of not repeating it elsewhere. It is a for profit institution. By the very definition, they are there to make money. Numbers=money=profit. By having many unqualified students in MBA classrooms, they make their numbers. This hurts the reputation of the school, and diminishes the hard work put forth by qualified Academians. The scale is misbalanced, as executives are well whereas most employees are barely paid a living wage for what in essence is sales. Many departments have been overrun with unqualified, leaders who have been placed in their role for their relationship with management, rather than on proven performance.
