Pros

Campus is beautiful and the community of Fayette is very kind.

Cons

This university is basically a dumpster fire. The people at the top have little to no experience with the positions they are in. The board of directors has zero faith in the president and the faculty has voted zero confidence in him - yet he still has a job. Title XI does not exist Students RUN this school. I just watched one of the coaches be forced out because of false rumors and rather than actually investigate (the now confirmed to be false) rumors, they believed the kids and forced her to resign. This isn’t the first time this has happened. School is and has been in a huge amount of debt for years now. The former CFO was a crook and the current one probably couldn’t balance a checkbook. Hires friends without even interviewing them. The Student Life is horrible, they have given kids 24 hour notice to leave their dorms when they have a balance due on their account and when there has been false claims against them without investigating. Everyone BUT the VPs are very underpaid and undervalued. The school should come with a warning label.

Pros

UIU affords many lateral opportunities within the firm but many of them are restricted to the primary campus. Even within the outlying centers there are opportunities for growth.

Cons

The policies & procedures have not adapted very well to the changing work climate with very few remote positions available. Pay has not kept step with the passage of time, but the benefits are extraordinary.
