Pros

Compensation and benefits were very good. Work is challenging and it is a fast paced company that has a lot of growth potential. Many associates are creative with the ability to think out of the box when needed to either troubleshoot problems or to keep future initiatives on course. Good company to start off a career with to get an introduction into chaotic corporate culture while learning and gaining good experience, but leaving with an appreciation that it is not a healthy environment. Life lesson for future endeavors.

Cons

Management is self-serving. The Executive Leadership Team comes across as always having agendas that conflict within the Internal Business Units and it is about individual goals and objectives. Not entirely focused on the Company. Concept of agreement even with disagreement once the doors are open is not practiced. Most Executives bring back personal opinions to their direct associates that get skewed during the flow down of information. The CEO has many times demonstrated his superiority in passive aggressive mannerisms and sarcastic comments. His disdain for members of his staff is visible and it affects the moral of the ELT members and those same mannerisms have become adopted throughout the company making it a very uncomfortable environment to work in. Lower level associates that actually produce the work that makes Chamberlain successful are not treated fairly. To get ahead and thrive at Chamberlain one must be tough and be able to adapt to a toxic environment where one might have to willingly go against their principles. One can succeed there, but at what cost?

Pros

Chamberlain is a highly variable place to work. Everything depends on what team you are working on. Some teams will have managers who will fight for you and help build you up, others not so much. I have more or less grown up with the company and have seen it go from being owned by a private family to being owned by Blackstone and all between. Every year I ask myself, "is this the year I leave". My answer is usually no, as where else will be better when I am at least in a good position? Summer fridays are pretty great though.

Cons

Yearly reorgs are a constant drag. Some of the most CG-blooded people I have ever known are somehow always the first to get sent to the wood chipper. People flail around and react. There is no forward thought. Just constant reaction to whatever words the executive population utters. We have been 'transforming' for the near decade I have worked here. But what are we even transforming to? All I have seen is us transforming into yet another soulless company. Benefits have been getting crushed. My wonderful and amazing 401k service contribution was ripped away and replaced with a far less beneficial amount. If you aren't on a good team, or have a good manager, your chance for advancement will be near impossible. Constant 'do more with less'
