Cal Poly Pomona reviews

It was ok, it helped keep food on the table and it was nice being able to take advantage of California retirement contribution benefits.

Dept management that actively invests in employee growth: goal-setting is taken seriously and evaluations reflect actual observed performance rather than checkbox exercises. Genuine opportunities to take initiative and have it recognized: projects like co-creating tools, leading outreach, and pursuing credentials are encouraged and noted formally. The work is meaningful: you're directly impacting students by helping them navigate one of the most stressful and confusing systems in higher education. Strong professional development culture within dept: webinars, NASFAA credentials, and external trainings are supported and tracked. Telework flexibility exists within dept and can be adjusted around personal needs, if documented. Permanent status process is clear and the probationary period, while real, is fair and well-documented. Cross-functional exposure through the Bronco Advising Center adds breadth to an otherwise specialized role.
