Too big too fast

Pros

The passion and expertise of the Chamberlain employees is excellent. Everyone was focused on creating an exceptional experience for students, and for surpassing academic standards.

Cons

The model for growth did not make sense. The pressure and strategy from DeVry's senior management for Chamberlain to expand to more markets was not realistic given the cost structure, competitive landscape, and regulatory hurdles. There are too many more affordable options for nursing students.

Job Uncertainty

Pros

The work-life balance is good; however, it is not as exceptional as it used to be with ongoing RIF. Our department is currently down five positions, so that means those of us who remain must cover additional workloads.

Cons

In the past we averaged about one RIF per year (if that). We just had our 2nd or 3rd RIF this calendar year. I say 2-3 RIF, as the one series was not widely reported to colleagues. The difficult part is people being laid off during the holidays. This shows zero Chamberlain Care and has put a great deal of stress on the remaining staff. I never thought about leaving Chamberlain, but there is so much uncertainty lately that I have started to look elsewhere. After the last RIF, which saw several of my work friends being let go, I had enough.
