Elon University reviews

If you want to live in an overpopulated urban area, Elon is not it. It is located a short drive from urban attractions in a cluster of idyllic small towns in Alamance County. All of the shopping and dining choices found in a typical suburb can be found here - Target, Home Depot, Bed-Bath-Beyond, Kohls, Best Buy, Michael's, Red Lobster, Chili's, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden and dozens more - but there are not many non-chain restaurants, no local opera company, no pro sports right here, locally.

Different people are held to different standards. The CIO is not a technology veteran. His background is in film. He is easily wowed by poor but popular trends in technology. The CIO will lie to protect himself and his cronies. Expect big ideas with too few funds and people to complete the project. Be prepared to engage in toxic politics at every level. There is a definite "cover your ass" mentality. Be prepared to face burnout both in yourself and in other staff. Senior leadership is out of touch with frontline staff and the challenges those staff face. Forget internal promotion unless you can maneuver your way into the "in crowd." Expect emphasis to be on level of education as opposed to experience or skill set.
