Poor Management and Culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work was very specific and consistent. It was nice to know what you were doing each day/week/month.

Cons

A poor culture where you feel like you are just a cog in the machine. Managers are too caught up in the process, to actually try to figure out what can help you do the job. There was minimal effort made to have the team feel cohesive. If you do not conform to how the team currently acts, you will feel like an outsider. There is poor training for the tasks that you will be given as well. If you ask questions/challenge why something is done a particular way, the answer you will receive is: - Thats the way we have always done it, so just do it that way - Thats just the way I need you to do it and I dont need you to know why.

Pros

The students genuinely want a solid education Beautiful campus

Cons

Poor management Leadership plays favorites and will base your schedule on how much they like you Night courses are a requirement for teaching Not enough support Lower paying in comparison to other schools Heavy requirements from didactic instructors to be involved in on campus activities Very bad work life balance, theres expectations for you to be available to the students 24/7- even on weekends or holidays. No breaks for instructors ever.
