Going Downhill FAST!

Pros

There used to be lots of pros, but the current president has made sure the list has shrank each year. Currently, the only pro is that my position is remote and some lower level management that has been with the university for awhile still practices Chamberlain Care to the best of their ability.

Cons

Senior administration is running the university over a cliff. They have consistently lowered standards and expectations for students, while increasing expectations of faculty to ensure that every student passes (and continues to pay tuition). The organizational culture has become cut-throat and it's no longer a good place to work. Administration has little to no respect for the faculty role. The number of students per course has increased by five students a session for the past three sessions and is now up to 40 online pre-licensure students in a course. If you don't agree with every bad decision that is made you are black listed and have no room for advancement. And if you don't pass every student (regardless of whether they actually do any work or not) you are not asked to teach again.

Burnout University!

Pros

The only pro is students get a degree.

Cons

The pay for the amount of work is a joke, especially if promoting within. They use the lame excuses of why someone external can make 10-15k more than you doing the same job. On top of all of that, nobody received a raise last year, which would be understandable (due to Covid) if they didn’t spend over a BILLON dollars purchasing Walden. Benefits are basic. Not many options. Work-Life balance is a joke. Nurses are treated superior to regular staff. Employee appreciation day is non-existent unless your direct manager does something but an entire week is spent celebrating nurses. Also, only nurses get gifts for anniversaries, where regular staff only get 8 hours additional PTO the year they hit 5 years. Attempting to provide honest feedback and input in surveys and in meetings will get you blacklisted and frowned upon. Being fake and sweeping things under the rug will get you far. Drink the kool-aid and they’ll drag you to the top with them. Colleagues were bringing up the amount of work on their plates and instead of listening and making it a better workplace they laid off tons of people and restructured. The restructuring makes no sense and is truly causing a lot more stress to those still with the company. Seeing 2 layoffs in 6 years was heartbreaking. When I first joined Chamberlain it was a happy place that prided itself on behavior based services. Due to new leadership, with very little higher education experience, things have shifted to being all about money and numbers. It’s truly disheartening and disgusting. Get it together Chamberlain. You can do better, you USED to be better!!!! Also, TA/HR…take your fake comments on the reviews elsewhere. You never did anything for anyone that brought real issues to you.

Pros

Some students who graduate will make good nurses.

Cons

Favoritism is rampant. Bullying is rampant and even when reported to national HR and the ethics board, nothing has been done about it. Faculty are not supported when they try to hold students accountable. In fact, faculty are not supported at all.
