Strayer University Employer Reviews

This organization can be very beneficial to the employee if you are an adult learner. The company offers 90% off of employee tuition.

Exercised recruitment screening techniques to ensure high-quality student enrollment.

Used innovative marketing approaches to maximize campus presence and reputation.

Facilitated and executed college recruiting sourcing strategies with various departments.

Collaborated with on and off-site businesses regarding launch of campus and programs.

I have read with interest all the reviews of administrative staff. However, I am an adjunct online instructor and have been for 11.5 years! Yup, back when we taught synchronous classes in real time. In nearly 12 years, I have not received one single cent more in pay than the first day I started. I make the same per class in 2012 as I did in 2002! Who – more... else can say that about a job?

But I do like teaching and Strayer long filled my "frustrated professor" itch, but with the new Blackboard platform and all the new requirements that have been introduced -- especially the last 3 or 4 years -- that joy has been pounded out. When I read a year ago that the CEO of Strayer Inc. made 35 million and I'm still paid the same per class...? Well, that's may be capitalism, but that is also Gordon Gecko-based greed and hubris. – less

On our Typical day, its a very busy place. We have student calling in to our office, some come in and we have to be registering some for their classes too.
I learned to be a team player and customers always comes first
Management was okay
my co-workers are excellent

The environment is warm and friendly. The staff are great to be around. The training and learning is easy to understand and adequate in most departments (Admissions, Business Office, Campus Directorship). The hardest part of the job (Learning Resources Center Manager) is finding resources to assist students. Sometimes no other staff are present during – more... the hours of an LRCM. – less

I worked for this University for 7 years. Obviously, there was something I liked about the company or I would never have worked for them for so long. They need to strongly restructure. Management has traveled so far downhill that many managers are unqualified and lacking knowledge in campus procedures.

New policies are implemented at a moments notice – more... and when changed there is a strong lack of communication.

There are no 'set' policies for the University. Each campus is run how the managers see fit regardless of policies and they are one hundred percent backed up by corporate management whether ethical or unethical.

A positive of this company is many friendly co-workers and the students make the job the most fun.

Benefits are good and although you don't get a free education you get a very nice discount on tuition.

This company has helped me a lot and has been a great starter job for me. I will always be grateful and it saddens me to see the company going downhill. – less

Poor ethics and morals. No room for advancement. Management very aloof of employees. Unwilling to grow and change with current DOE policies and procedures. High Turnover. Discourage a work life balance.

I enjoy working at Strayer University. However, it is only sufficient as a part-time job and doesn't offer room for advancement in the IT field, which is what I am look for as soon as I graduate.

My typical day at work is organizing priorities and then completing projects. The approach is to have a great attitude in completing these projects in a timely manner. I love managing effectively and comprehensively as others are involved. The hardest part of the job is that you have to arrange your day in the beginning of the day as all tasks cannot – more... be accomplish in one day. Lastly, what I love at work is interacting and working with people. – less

Is a good place to start if no family life. Hours are not desirable. Pay is good, flexibility not. No room to grow and advance.

Great starting salary and has a great work environment, if you have the right Campus Director.

The best part of my job is knowing that I am helping people who need help.They are very thankful for the assistance I give them. Often people don't know what to do in stressful situations. My training and experience often takes over and I am able to assist them without hesitation.

Each Campus has a different environment. I prefer more exciting place to work. The leadership at my campus was lacking. Most enjoyable part of the job were the students.

I enjoy helping students attain their individual goals of attaining a higher level of education than was available to them before.

The greatest part of this university is the help the dean and professors are willing to help to make sure you get the most out of your education.

A typical work day was great. I learned front office skills. Management was great, always fair and fun to work with. My co- workers made work great especially when they did their part. There was nothing hard about this job.

I can say that my experience with this company has been interesting. I was greeted with a friendly work environment. The hours are not the best, especially if you have a life outside of work. The pay should be re-evaluated. If you have admissions experience, you are more likely to get a higer pay. If you have management and sales experience you will – more... get paid but not as much as a seasoned or experienced admissions officer. – less

Consistantly on the phone with students in regards to refunds. Some days It felt like I was working at a bank. The quality of students were horrible. They care more about a refund check then their education. Managers were horrible, always arguing with one another before the staff and kept the gossip going. One of the Directors we had made us sit in – more... meetings every wednesday and verbally abused us. This went on for months. In my four years at Strayer, I worked with over 9 different SAR's and I felt like the trainner. I even had to train my own boss. What a slap in the face. The hardest part of the job was keeping the peace. Drama, drama, drama, in every department. I felt like I was apart of a soap opera. The hours are crazy. You rotate 9-6, 10-7 and 11-8. Weekends are a must. This is a very depressing place to work. Your changes are getting promoted a very slim. Oh and you basically have to train yourself when you start. – less

Highly productive work place. Very involved regional team.

If you are doing well it's a nice place to work. salary is terrible unitl you make it to Management.
