Strayer University Employer Reviews

not bad, good benefits, lots of traveling, great agreement with verizon wireless, good coworkers, had t balance lot of things

They are growing and working hard to deliver education to working adults.

As an admissions representative I would receive and make calls from potential students and assist them in the process of finding the right program for their educational goals.

Strayer University is a fine institution of higher learning. As a campus dean and as a student who went through their Masters program, I was satisfied with the required academic rigor and program objectives.

The hardest part of the job was finding myself being pulled further and further away from helping (mentoring, guiding and advising) my students – more...  and having to attend redundant conference calls, inputing daily student projections and ever increasing data-entry statistics.

The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the students, both undergraduate and graduate students. – less

A typical day at Strayer University I would come in open the campus which was one of the smaller campuses so it was usually very quiet. Business casual so we dressed accordingly with semi-dress down Friday. Most days there was always a pressure to meet a certain number of student enrollment for the day. When the campus was short handed in the roles – more...  that fulfill enrollment the pressure of enrollment numbers was pushed onto other roles, like that of mines which was to be a clerical assistant. I had an opportunity to learn a lot about the way these for-profit colleges work and go about recruiting and although Strayer is one of the better for-profit schools, it still pretty much has the same goal...get as many students as we can. Management at Strayer were youthful, educated and pretty much down-to earth. Its a pro and a con that you can move up fairly fast at Strayer. My co-workers were all really nice and intelligent people. The hardest part of the job is the admission checklist of what is needed and how it is filed. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with staff and students. – less

A typical day at work would consist of making phone calls to prospective students. Following up with current students and ensuring that they have all documents in place before the quarter begins.Preparing work schedules, developing relationships with organizations within the community for outreach events and coaching. Managing a team of 3 admissions – more...  officers and training and developing the team to improve on specific skills and effectiveness. – less

Great company. Listen to employees. Treat employees right. They care

Teaching is a very rewarding field and at Strayer they give you the room to grow and advance as a professional

Basically, it wasnt all they said it would be. That's all I have to say about it.

Not good.

Overall well recognized company, they have good benefits and good 401K matching system.

No growth possibility and being stagnant for a long time. NO care for the employee who works for a long time.

Terrible company to work or contract for. They take over 40 days to pay out there employees and if you ask where your money is they will terminate you.

Great place to work. Pay is ok but it offers a wonderful work/life balance that is quite attractive.

Strayer is a great place to work. Very friendly, supportive atmosphere. Job security is pretty high, just a little hard to get full time or advancement.

The management team is very inexperienced and uses write-ups and disciplinary action as its main tool for motivation. The result is a horrible place to work with extremely low moral. Everyone that currently works there that is not in management is looking for a job somewhere else.

If you are a black male, and are looking for advancement, this is not the place for you.

If you are single with no kids, this is the place for you. The benefits and pay is very good! Outstanding...but you give up more of yourself. There will be no time for family or yourself. You can advance at this company but please beware that if you are family oriented, this might not be the place for you.

Strayer University to me is considered one of the best jobs to have. I was given the opportunity to advance to higher education as well as meet and greet so many people seeking education. As a rentention counselor my employer provided all neccessary tools to fulfil my job duties and provide qualified services to all clients.

Very competitive workplace with high demands on time and productivity. Stressful but fun and rewarding. A lot is asked of employees but they are well taken care of in return both in regard to compensation and company perks.

I have been with Strayer for one year now and have experienced a lot. I have been in admissions and academics. Academics is the place to be for sure. Admissions is kind of stressful at times.
