Bryan University reviews

In 2011, when I started teaching at Bryan University the Health Information Management program was in candidacy to get CAHIIM accreditation. That never happened. It is now 2014, the school is still not accreditated. Students who graduated in 2012 with the hope of writing the RHIT exam will be left out in the cold. Poor management is the reason the school did not go forward and become accredited. There were three of good qualified AHIMA credentialed teachers on staff, more than cabaple of participating in the accreditation process who would have brought the school through accreditation. Instead the school left the accreditation in the hands of individuals who did nothing and they got nothing and the got rid of the AHIMA credentialed teachers. What does this say for company values?

The entire culture and climate is dictated by the immediate Manager who is given complete discretion and latitude to manage as they see fit. No true checks and balances are in place to ensure management is fair, ethical and congruent with the mission and vision of the school. Upper management at the top is either neglectful of the mistreatment of staff or ignorant and aloof of its own business practices. Heavy turnover with upper Management in Admissions. Usually a sign that the company either doesn't know exactly what they want or how to go about accomplishing their overall objective. Inconsistent direction. In admissions, they expect consistent results, yet the processes and direction are very inconsistent and changes with each manager running the department like their own business whether it resonates with the company's true character or not. Hopes of advancement are a lure in attempts to increase production and create departmental retention. Talk of growth and advancement are just that. Within almost 4 years of employment, 2 Reps out of 18 were promoted early on to management positions, there haven't been any since. It's a 'dead end' for growth within the company regardless of your effort and production. At first impressions, Bryan University has the appearance of having a different focus and unique perspective almost setting itself apart from all the other for-profit schools, but time will tell a different story. The school's focus on hitting the "sales goal", whether for profit or reinvestment in the company is all the same. My experience has been that Bryan University has a particular arrogance, neglect and a self-serving management at the top that seems to care about one thing, its image. Being a private, family owned and operated school you would expect more genuine warmth, better communication, more advancement opportunities for top performers and better treatment for those that share the vision and mindset of Bryan, especially when they put in an honest effort to help grow the company and build its reputation for the better. Not so!
