Grand Canyon University Employer Reviews

This company is ideal for any hard-working Financial Aid employee. Not only does the company have a great work/life balance, they have excellent benefits to employees including up to 120 hours a year of PTO. Management is on top of answering any and all questions. The hardest part of the job is the workload, which frequently calls for overtime hours. – more... You are compensated and your managers really do care about you. One of the best companies I have ever worked for. – less

Grand Canyon University is a wonderful place to work. The environment and managment is among the best that I have experienced. I have to highly recommend Grand Canyon University as a place of employment.

Horrible upper-level management. Cut-throat environment.

Get to choose hours. Students can only work 20 hours a week. Supervisor harasses female student workers.

Was a great job for a student worker in college. They offer adjustable work hours which is important for student workers. However, not much opportunity for advancement and the pay was poor.

Start off the day by checking on instructors and their students, to ensure they have everything they need, and make sure the lab is clean. Next i perform my "Daily Rounds". Which involves me going to every room checking for proper working equipment and that everything is in its place. Finally i reset the labs for the next days use and clean the labs.

I would highly reccommend Grand Canyon University. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. The curriculum is chalenging and engaging. They have many extra curriclar activities here that are appropriate and fun. I have had a memorable time here and have learned a great deal. In fact, I plan to continue my education at Grand Canyon University in – more... obtaining my Masters degree. I highly recommend this institution. – less

Grand Canyon University is a great company with excellent values. My work day consisted of calling potential students to assist in answering questions regarding enrolling in school. I also assisted current students in reaching their goals. The hardest part of the job was the quota's for enrollment. The company had a specific number of enrollments each – more... month and it was difficult to meet this quota at times. The most enjoyable part of the job was having the opportunity to assist others and to provide encouragement. – less

The values that they display publicly are not practiced internally.

Management was young and erxperienced growing pains/high turnover in enrollment mgt.

Co-workers like family making it a great day at work

The most enjoyable part was changing peoples – more... lives for the better & the team culture! – less

I called and scheduled counseling appointment w/prospective students with military affiliation's only, ie veterans, spouse's and dependents. I learned to expertly address all question pertaining to every program offered on campus and online. I enrolled for the bachelor and mastered degree programs. I enjoyed the personal interactions on campus and verbally – more... on the phone. I formed a lot of valuable relationships. The most enjoyable part was watching one of my students graduate. – less

The week before class started, I set up my classroom and wrote a welcome to the students. I set up boundaries and expectations, open office hours; phone number, use of rubric in grading papers, expectations for responses to discussion questions and how they would be graded.

Weekly, I would review the previous week, and write a fun statement for the – more... next weeks' assignments. I would grade their papers and participation in the discussion questions.

Depending on the day, I would sign into my class and: respond to questions; answer discussion questions and add comments which would stimulate more discussion by the students; review papers prior to final submission, offering suggestions on how to improve the paper, if needed;

The week after class ended, I would grade final assignments, compute course grades, and enter them. Grand Canyon used the ANGEL platform at the time.

The hardest part of the job was time management on my part. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the students. Since these students were in the RN to BSN program, they were already working. I was amazed at the wide variety of environments and experience the students drew on for their assignments and their point of view in the discussion questions. I loved teaching online! – less

Grand Canyon faculty and leadership provided the best nursing education along with career guidance and opportunity. I was inspired by the nursing leadership of the faculty and the dean and became directly involved in leadership myself.

I learned constantly about the importance of communication, hard work, collaboration, discipline, higher education processes, the importance of servant leadership, and creativity.

Working at GCU has offered many benefits and opportunities. I enjoy the work environment and the fact that the management is flexible. My typical day is not monotonous, which is a plus for me.

Cubicle/telephone job. Often managed to typical call center metrics like dials, talk-time, etc.

When I started at GCU this was a new and up coming company with potential. During my time there were to many upper management struggles and zero communication of change or direction.

GCU is an awesome employer with Christian values. There is nepotism and favoritism. It is a great place to work and the people who work there enjoy what they do, and the reputation of GCU is great. Hardest part of working there was the lack of any career path to follow.
