argosy university Employer Reviews

Great work to work at!
They continue to strive for the improvement of the education for new professionals in the field of counseling

A typical day consist of restocking of supplies throughout the University. Respond to work orders and request. Resetting classrooms

Counselors and instructors keep communication open and return calls/email quickly.
Hardest part was research and documentation for classes.
Enjoyable to keep learning new things and advance.

So enjoy working with my colleagues and students. I get to teach a variety of courses, including Foundations of Community Counseling, Counseling Theory, and Abnormal Psychology.

woudlnt work there if i could do it again. very unhealthy work/life balance. Numbers number numbers mentality. Constant micro manage review periods, which make you feel like you suck at life when youre done.

Argosy University is a really great place to both work, as well as attend classes. Argosy encourages the staff to really become involved with the student's education, provides deep, real world learning, and encourages initiative and innovation.

The students are very very intelligent, involved and active in their own educational process and outcomes.

The – more... single most enjoyable part of my job is the academic and professional freedom to become immersed in providing a quality educational experience to my students -- and the fact that my students feel comfortable to contact me, in and outside of class -- to ask questions, bounce ideas off me, and to do those things which one expects from an institution of hugher education.

My co-workers are all very professional as well as interested in the students, and, interestingly, many are pursuing degrees through Argosy itself: a testament to the quality of our educational product.

Management at Argosy is top-notch in all respects, and they are also most approachable. I once emailed the president of Argosy and, not expecting any reply, was stunned when the president took his time to actually do so.

To sum Argosy up, there is this. . . I am interested in another doctorate degree and I am strongly considering Argosy for it: and I am not eligible for any discounts or tuition rebate. That speaks highly, to e at least, as to how I feel about Argosy. – less

Call center environment staffed with brilliant people well over-educated for their positions. Little room for advancement financially and professionally (though leadership will try and convince you otherwise.)

You always have work to do, it is very rewarding work. The hardest part of the job is not having the supplies you need to do the job.

I love it here at argosy but Im a student worker who is looking for some job stability. I have received my degree from argosy but now its time for me to follow my dreams and find a great career so that I can make a title for myself and not just as a student worker.

organizing, structuring and assessing students acquiring a BA and MA degree. I am in charge of developing a study plan that will assist students in learning all facets of Psychology, Forensics, Counseling. I am required to provide feedback to all students and to check in with supervisors in all areas of each field. Provide grades in a timely manner.

work study student positions have limited funding, HR will not let you know when your funding is up until the last minute, convenient work space, flexible hours, work around your school schedule, limited management supervision, limited benefits

Did not really look forward to going in to work every day. I felt like, at times, the job asked you to take advantage of people that did not know any better or have the education to understand what they were doing.

I loved working at Argosy University. I was actually pretty sad to leave. I would work for them any time.

Great training and program offers

Los Angeles campus is in a terrible location: bad neighborhood, long walk from public transportation, pay only parking lot.

Tuiion was very high.

If you are looking for a place that will give back what you put into it, well, this is not the place. No matter how hard you work at what you are given, Argosy will give to its favorites and you will be left in the dark. Do not count on this company for fairness or continual employment! You will be majorly dissapointed.

Many people move around without experience, and those who "buy in" to the ways of uppoer management can advance, but anyone who sees beyond the current methods will be quickly pushed through. A lot of promises, typical of a pyramid scheme, but the rewards come with a big cost to personal values and ethics.

The most enjoyable part of the job was having the culpability to attain knowledge for Supervisors that benefited me for my next job venture. I was within a network of very professional employers/employees. Learning the CampusVue system was also a plus. I gain access to the financial aid data base to manipulate the financial data of students. Very rewarding.

I enjoyed being able to sit and meet with my students and was able to be very hands on with their enrollment process. My events team and I reconstructed the way the schools Open House was facilitated and made it more student friendly. Students were able to tour the school and sit and talk with current students and instructors. Our student participation – more... doubled due to the new format.
I gained more experience implementing and executing various ideas and trainings. The hardest part of this job is sometimes being stiffled by a process which may prevent overall success for all involved. – less

Typical day consisted of communicating with current and prospective students, as well as faculty regarding questions about registration, classroom availability, or services offered by the student services department. Also, helped students and faculty operate IT equipment for presentations for classes or meetings. The main thing learned in this role – more... was how to effectively problem solve and be a self starter. Management lacked professionalism and didn't effectively resolve problems or concerns of staff. Lack of professionalism amongst management reported to was the hardest part of the job. However, the most enjoyable part of the job was working with other co workers and working as a team to resolve conflict. – less

Other than getting a regular paycheck, I have nothing positive to say.
