Pros

Manager was amazing. Our team had a family feel to it. We developed relevant work for our audience and were deemed vitally important to the development of our faculty and students. My immediate manager created a work environment were we could work on what we were most passionate about, and was transparent about updates and things to come. Our work was relevant, important, and valued by our immediate team, community partners, and the university.

Cons

One day in the middle of very important work, our entire department was deemed unnecessary. Future projects were left for those with no training to launch and implement. We were laid off, with minimal severance and our health benefits were cancelled on our last day of work. Leaving us without health benefits immediately. 2 weeks after I was laid off, I was contacted by the new manager to ask for direction on how to complete certain job responsibilities. I directed this person to someone who still worked there and was not "deemed unnecessary".

Pros

I've spent many years at Chamberlain, and one of the main reasons is the opportunity for growth. If you're looking for a career rather than just a job, there are clear advancement opportunities at both the enrollment representative and leadership levels. The culture is performance-driven but also coaching-focused, with strong investment in training and development. Chamberlain has strong brand recognition, which makes conversations with prospective students meaningful and rewarding.

Cons

The pace can be demanding during peak enrollment periods, and success requires adaptability as priorities and processes evolve.

Pros

There are lots of good people working in the campuses and working to help students succeed is very fulfilling.

Cons

The home office (Covista) IT takes forever and a day to do anything. There seems to be a focus on reducing costs to the point that the experience feels cheap.
