Proceed with Caution - Istituto Marangoni Miami
Pros
Most faculty and lower-level staff members are friendly, dedicated, and enjoyable to work with.
Cons
However, there is no workplace civility from the top managers. They demean and insult employees with derogatory and offensive comments in an aggressive manner. In 2024, academic standards greatly diminished. The main focus is on generating income by any means, including registering students with no academic preparedness, flunking out of community college, or lacking the financial means to pay for their education. There is a 100% admission acceptance as long as “your check clears”. The school is not accredited and is a “for-profit” institution, with a big emphasis on “profit” which means be prepared to be nickel and dimed for EVERYTHING, including starter kits, hidden fees, and diploma printing. Salaries are typically lower than average. You are expected to be on call 24/7, with long working hours. If you resign, or your position is eliminated, your vacation and personnel days “disappear”. Miami deserves a first-rate, top-notch fashion institution.
