Pros

There are no Pros! DO NOT ENROLL AND DO NOT APPLY!!!

Cons

I have worked for this company for over a year as an Admissions Counselor. I have had to do some of the most demeaning, deceitful things just to enroll students. I have lied about the benefits of the programs. Promised them job opportunities for such off the wall programs such as Alternative Medicine or Alternative and Renewable energy. Lets get real! You have people with Accounting and engineering degrees that can't get a job and you think these prospective students will get a job with these degrees! GET REAL! Upon approval of management I was directed to tell a student to ENROLL OR ELSE. This is a Heavy Sales position. Understand that! With that being said, no one wants to enroll to an unknown school for $8000.00 a semester for undergrad for approximately 11 semesters. That's almost $90,000.00 just for a bachelors degree. INSANE!!!!!!! when well known community colleges cost 1/4th of that price. This school has no amenities. No Gym, no clubs no job opportunities. The classes are 1 month long. Imagine what you have learned in a class that you have taken all semester and condense that into 1 month. Now think quality of learning and retaining that material. Yeah Right!!! My job was to threaten students to enroll, If not I would have been fired. The president Kristi Mollis and her subordinates threaten your job on a daily basis. They call you,email you and text you several times daily while you are making calls and with prospective students wanting to now if you have found another sucker! and wanted constant reports daily. This seriously slows down your daily progress of finding said sucker! The stress and fear you have on a daily basis of losing the job will erode you inside in ways you can only imagine in NIGHTMARES!!. I have deceived students to enroll just to keep a job. I HOPE GOD CAN FORGIVE ME as these students will be in debt up to their ears with a degree which is virtually useless, unless you run out of toilet paper at home. If some part of you is looking for a job at Everglades University and you see this message. I hope you take this seriously. If i had a chance to speak to someone who was looking to get hired at Everglades University, I would tell them that not only is it better for them not to have a job, but that it would be better for them if they walked blindfolded, in reverse, into oncoming traffic!

Pros

I've had a positive experience working here. There is a supportive and collaborative culture, especially at the Boca Raton Campus. The team genuinely works together to help one another succeed, creating an environment where employees feel valued and supported. I would also like to recognize our Campus Vice President, Savitria, for her outstanding leadership. She fosters open communication, encourages teamwork, and helps create a workplace culture where employees feel heard and appreciated. The communication among colleagues and leadership at the Boca Raton Campus is highly effective, which helps streamline daily operations and makes our work more efficient and manageable. Everyone is willing to share knowledge, provide assistance when needed, and work toward common goals. Overall, this is a great place to work for individuals looking for a supportive team, strong leadership, and a collaborative work environment. I am grateful to be part of such a dedicated and positive group.

Cons

The environment can be fast-paced, and employees may occasionally be required to wear different hats to meet organizational needs. However, the collaborative nature of the team and strong leadership support help make these challenges manageable and provide valuable opportunities for professional development.

Pros

Attending Everglades University has been one of the best educational decisions I've made. As a full time, Aviation Maintenance Lead working nights in the aerospace industry, I needed a university that understood the challenges of balancing work, family, and higher education. Everglades University exceeded my expectations. One thing that really stood out to me from the very beginning was how much they helped during the enrollment process. Instead of expecting me to track down transcripts from every school I had attended over the years, Everglades University took care of obtaining my records from previous colleges, technical schools, and even my high school. Anyone who has had to gather records from multiple institutions knows how difficult and time consuming that can be. Having the university handle that process removed a tremendous amount of stress and made getting started much easier. The one class at a time format made it possible to focus on learning without becoming overwhelmed, and the flexibility of the online program allowed me to continue advancing my career while earning my degree. The professors genuinely care about their students and consistently challenged me to think critically instead of simply memorizing information. They encouraged meaningful discussions and real world application of what we were learning. Another feature that impressed me was the level of support available outside the classroom. The counselors regularly schedule virtual meetings covering topics such as resume writing, cover letter development, networking strategies, interview preparation, and financial counseling. These sessions provide valuable guidance that helps students prepare for their careers while also making informed financial decisions. It's reassuring to know the university offers these resources to help students succeed both academically and professionally. What impressed me most was how practical the coursework was. Whether studying psychology, project management, business, or American literature, I found myself applying concepts directly to my leadership role in aviation. The assignments encouraged thoughtful analysis and helped me become a better communicator, leader, and decision maker. As a military veteran, I also appreciated the respect and support shown to those who have served. The staff was always professional, responsive, and willing to help whenever I had questions. If you're a working professional looking for a flexible, accredited university that truly supports its students from enrollment through graduation, I highly recommend Everglades University. From helping obtain transcripts before classes even begin, to providing career development resources and outstanding professors throughout the program, Everglades University has created an environment where students have every opportunity to succeed. My experience has been outstanding, and I am proud to be a student here.

Cons

I do not have negative comments.
