Pros

You get paid on time

Cons

1) A company that wants to be a 'Great place to work' although there's nothing great about it and the management is not doing anything to make it any better 2) the leadership team believes that incapable managers will work better if promoted to the next level 3) Highly incompetent enabler functions, most of which are the finance and payroll teams. Striving very hard to bring down the employee benefit standards 4) this is one of those companies that terminates employees for "FICTIONAL" performance and behavioral issues but can retain managers even after multiple employees complain about harassment from their immediate manager. To make it easy to understand, not one, not two, but three finance team members, good performers, were let go because they spoke the truth about their manager 5) if you have to convince your manager about something start the sentence with 'employee engagement survey'

Pros

There are plenty of employees who pour their hearts into this mission.

Cons

There’s an acute difference between being an incompatible coworker and a crappy person. Ellucian is led by some people (no names) who need to learn how to be a freaking human. The manipulation, deceit, rage, selfishness, and lack of self awareness were traits exhibited by these folks regularly, if not daily. It’s not hard to choose respect over ego. You can have conviction and not ruin peoples’ weeks at the same time. The sky isn’t falling.
