Pros

The students are great to work with, but they expect to be given breaks and treated like HS students.

Cons

I have been in leadership on and off the battlefield. ERAU has the worse leadership I've ever seen. Leadership runs on fear and people are running for the doors. It is a complete dictatorship on steroids. Corrupt to the core. They market to students that they offer classroom classes, but the truth is only 5% of all courses offered are traditional classroom courses. Most courses are online or live video web streaming. Be honest and tell prospective students the truth! BE CAREFUL before you decide to work at ERAU Worldwide as you will regret it!

Pros

Large local company in Daytona Beach that employes a lot of people. They have a great reputation that they covet and they protect that reputation at all costs. ERAU also pays well. Health benefits are average/competitive with other organizations. The time off is excellent and the 403B matching is good too. So overall, the benefits are good. Some managers are excellent and others are not.

Cons

Embry-Riddle has some extremely poor managers who create bad environments for their team. These managers are not identified and weeded out by their manager and not by HR either. In some cases, sadly, they are promoted. The org structure is constantly changing and there is a lot of competitiveness between the campuses. Upper management message is not consistent with ERAU operations. People who leave are NOT welcome back despite what may be said. Be prepared for an aggressive,vs assertive, environment where who you know is more important that what you deliver and how you treat people.

Pros

Tuition waiver for yourself or dependents

Cons

Low pay. Cannot afford to live on just this salary alone. Raises are not adequate. Upper management is so out of touch with its employees. The one in charge of department locations used to work at the cafeteria, but because of connections, is now in a position making six figures. They don't even have a degree and they are constantly making a mess of things. They are now moving us to a building at the other end of campus and putting us into a room with no bathrooms, no running water, and little to no outside light. We have to go downstairs to get to the restrooms or have a private conversation. They could be using this building for classes, or people who need to be on campus to do their jobs. We do not need to be on campus. If you are going to make us be on campus, at least make the area nice instead of shoving us into a cramped, dark, room for 8-10 hours a day. The turnover rate for this department is the worst it has ever been. Everything was great until this current president came along. He has really ruined the morale of the faculty and staff.
