Great! - Anonymous employee Scripps College Employee Review

The office is a very happy environment to be in, with a tightnit community of AOs, student workers, and the dean of admissions. Truly everyone cared so much about their job, but still had personal lives and it was nice to see a good balance. Travel for the job also a major plus if you learn to link points to hotel chains/airlines.

The small workplace means if you wanted a more anonymous experience, definitely not going to get that here. Travel can also be a little taxing being away for days to weeks at a time while touring your region of admissions.

Scripps hires people who are mission-driven, dedicated, and professional. Scripps students are brilliant and easy to work with, for the most part. 2026 is Scripps' centennial year and they are doing well as a higher ed institution which is exciting! They offer really great benefits overall and remote flexibility for some roles.

Scripps is making a genuine effort to make compensation more competitive but still struggles with retention in some departments. As a small institution, it can be difficult to move up professionally.
