      1 Star Is Too Generous

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      > Employee benefits are good > THIS IS A SPORTS SCHOOL. STUDENTS COME ONLY BECAUSE OF SPORTS. > Students will really get to know their professors here

      Cons

      > Poor training. You will literally have to learn everything by yourself from scratch. > Poor communication. Supervisors communicate to higher-ups only to show they are "actually working". > Decision making by management has always been poor, but this massive layoff in May 2023 was definitely the last straw. > Pay does not meet industry standards. > Management doesn't really care about you as you are "easily replaceable". > Lazy idiots are being retained while people who actually care about the school is getting laid-off.

      Bottom of the barrel students

      Pros

      Adjunct pay is 700 per credit hour. Courses are already pre-loaded and ready to go. Technology support for faculty is great.

      Cons

      Most students are used to getting a passing grade for showing up. Some don't show up and still expect to pass. I feel like this is a degree mill and it's common knowledge that a degree from here is a joke. No one really has to "earn" their degree. Sad.
