Troy University reviews

No professional development opportunities offered - budget too tight for working folks to travel to conferences. On-call 24/7 to check emails - they ask a lot of the employees and don't give appreciation in return just "be happy you have a job" mentality. Mediocrity seems to be the goal for which they strive.

Recent changes in management have changed the culture of Troy. Before, it used to be a pro-academic format, worrying about course content and providing the best courses available. Now it is more about quantity than quality. With recent changes they have lost all but one qualified Instructional Designers. The one remaining is qualified only in a limited field, but that one is now handling over 200 courses. They remaining people filling the jobs do not have the required education, a Masters degree, nor are they in the process of getting it. They seem to feel that anyone can do the job and that employees are the least important resource available. They feel that they will be able to replace skilled employees with anyone at anytime. They use non-existent "secret" policies to bully employees and regularly threaten employees for taking vacation, taking sick days and using the Federally mandated Family Medical Leave Act. HR is simply a rubber stamp with no concern for employees. Their reputation is known throughout the state of Alabama.. This once was a good place to work, but no more. Less concern about having the job done right and more concern about quantity of "butts in the seats" both online and on-campus.
