Strayer University Employer Reviews

Working at Strayer was an experience. Starting with the company, you feel as if you have stumbled upon a great place because of how your told the advancement opps are so high, of course unless you have a crazy campus director who tells a person that she plans to help promote them, then puts an "x" on their backs to get rid of them. The environment was – more... so full of drama and grown up that act as if they are children. Your asked to do something, you do so, and excel at it, and they still beat you down as if you've done nothing at all. The only great thing about the job is some of the great people you meet in your position. They really need to start investigating management more. They put too much energy into getting rid of a person instead of trying to get rid of the drama – less

a typical day would be waiting on teacher, I learned to always be prepared to start without teacher.
the dean was not as helpful and the students learned to work together.
the hardest part was trying to communicate with teacher and the most enjoyable was working together with students

Solid university to work for with job advancement opportunities and great benefits package.

classes ended at 10:00pm. my students taught all day and have families to care for......this timing is I believe inappropriate.

scattered management; overturn of secretarial help
co workers goood but not available when I was there.
hardest part of job..... meet late at night and keeping students enthusiasm up.
mst enjoable. relaxed atmosphere; technology – more... abundant; resources (library) very good. – less

Fast-pace and demanding work environment. Driven co-workers and creative management techniques.

8 hours are a wishful dream, most employees work anywhere between 9-10 hours daily, by an "implied force" rather than choice. Regional leadership suggests the most ideal and ethical concepts to the "masses" but do not stand by what is stated.

Growth possibilities are excellent for advancement for committed, driven employees. This company prefers to promote from within, so it is within each staff member's responsibility to prepare and benefit.

Excellent organization culture! I've earned several promotions and the opportunities are endless. We are very team oriented, fast paced while working towards a common goal. We are able to assist so many people through the admissions process with ease and comfort while providing our expertise.

Fast paced environment, where most of the work revolves around the quarter enrollment cycle. To be successful, you must be able to organize yourself, on an hourly basis. prioritizing your work to keep up with past, present, and future projects.

A typical day at work was helping students plan their future classes and assist the Dean in making appointments with the students, We assisted in making the motivated and kept high energy. I learned the job function fairly quickly and worked as a team to keep continuing students. My co-workers were amazing and will be friends with them for a long time. – more... The hardest part of my job was to keep some students happy when they were struggling with their education. The most enjoyable part of my job was when students kept with it and graduated! – less

An outstanding opportunity in developing great leaders. Day work 9AM to 6PM. Learn salesmanship and counseloring of student and overall management of staff and faculty.

This is a horrible place to work or get and "education". Employees compain yet nothing is done because no one cares as long as enrollments are high. Pressured to enroll students even if we see they are not fit to attend and when you push the issue you are blackballed.

I have been with the company for almost 5 years, and I have been able to get promoted twice and have worked in three different campuses.

Teaching 1 course per quarter in the evenings does not lead to much conflict with my CPA position with Donohoo.

Not good in any way! Expect too much from the students they convince to enroll.

Can be an uncomfortable working for them because people are often fired for no reason and without warning..
