Chamberlain Group reviews

Too many decisions made at the very top and the people who are expected to do the work are there strictly to execute with little to no input or stake. A lot of experienced veterans in the company (20, 30, 40+ years) that are too stuck in doing things the same old way and resistant to change.

Corporate department leadership is weak and do not work together. Sales and marketing team needs strong professional leadership. FYI new vacation policy is intended to take away an accrued vacation benefit from current employees. Before 1/1/2016 if you left the company at any point in the year you were paid out vacation dollars for the following year's accrued vacation. For example, you left in June 2015 you were paid out for 2015 unused vacation AND an accrual from Jan - June 2016. That has been the practice for YEARS even though it is not written (there was no written vacation policy at all). past practice = policy from Dept of Labor perspective. Don't let HR tell you it's not an accrued benefit. it was and the language can be found in your offer letter and I'm sure in employees files who left the company where HR would write "pay out accrued vacation of x dollars on final pay". All termed employees received this payout until this year. Sure, the HR leadership increased vacation for SOME current employees with less tenure and new employees but took away $$ (accrued benefit) from all current employees. Duchossois wanted to change this policy for years but never did because they would be required to pay out all employees per DOL. Chamberlain decided to bite the bullet and change it because they didn't think anyone would know their rights. No where on the new vacation policy does it mention what happened to our accrued benefit??
