Pros

NU has fantastic benefits, health, dental and retirement match. It is a fun place to work. Even though it's remote work, I never felt alone. There were team meetings every day that made our team feel like a family. The people that work there are amazing! They also promote from within which is awesome. One of the best things about National University is free education. You can get an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree at no cost. Doctorate degrees were at a discount.

Cons

The pay is extremely low. I have a master's degree but I was only making $27.75 per hour. Even after 4 years, I was living paycheck to paycheck.

Pros

The University has taken tangible and meaningful steps toward fulfilling its mission in an increasingly thoughtful and responsible way. There is a genuine commitment among leaders to collaborate more effectively and work together in support of shared goals. The 403(b) match is an outstanding benefit, and the PTO/sick leave offerings are equally strong and greatly appreciated.

Cons

One ongoing challenge is the imbalance between the volume of work and the number of people available to support it. Teams are highly committed, but workloads can at times exceed current staffing capacity.

Pros

The two pros of working at NU are: remote work and inexpensive healthcare benefits compared to other companies. Working from home is nice but other than that, there are no pros.

Cons

No room for growth, extremely toxic work culture, leadership micromanages but is not helpful. Everything is so poorly run and students and employees suffer because of it. Also, the pay is incredibly low - you’re doing the work of an academic advisor and a financial aid advisor but for $21 an hour. Leadership manipulates employees by crying in meetings, forces employees to be on camera for 8 hours straight, and subjects everyone to toxic positivity. This was one of the worst working environments I have ever experienced.
