Pros

Excellent local management and work-life balance, great coworkers, good benefits (health and education), enjoyed working with and assisting students. Troy is a quality and reputable school that I enjoyed working for but the leadership leaves a lot to be desired.

Cons

~low pay - not competitive and doesn't consider education and experience to determine salary ~poor communication and support between main campus and satellite locations ~poor management at the main campus level ~few opportunities for growth/promotion unless you want to move to Alabama

Business Outlook

Pros

Really relaxed work environment, low stress. Insurance and benefits were great. Cost of living was very low.

Cons

Long periods of down time between projects. Most work received were projects senior team members just didn't want to do. No chance of advancement unless someone else leaves.

Pros

I have a great team working with me at the Troy University - Savannah Site and Troy University is a great school that is easy to promote.

Cons

We have been given a tremendous challenge for enrollment numbers but lack sufficient leadership and guidance from the main campus along with insufficient marketing support and a "chain gang" mentality from the administration.
