Troy University Employer Reviews

The management was great. The students needed a lot of basic support and to be retaught note taking skills.

nice place to work and learn with good communication and coordination

My alarm clock goes off at 4:30AM initially, but i hit snooze for 5:15AM. I wake up, hygiene myself and drive to campus to begin my day. I start with a one hour weightroom workout, after my workout as I head home to get ready for work. I stop by the office and place the reserved parking signs for our visiting students of that day in the proper place.I – more... then journey home take a nice warm shower. I put my breastfast on while i shave and get dressed for work. After, prayer and a few encouraging scriptures I eat and head out the door for campus.

I walk into the office each morning smiling and greeting those who have beat me to work. I try to at least be one of the first three people here (competitive). I check my email, return calls to students, evaluate transcripts and ACT scores, but the most enjoyable portion of work is at 10:00AM when we have vistors. I get the opportunity to meet with families and encourage high school seniors to attend Troy University. This is my favorite part of the work day not only because of the impact I can make on the students but i would have to say it's the fact that i learn something new for each student i encounter. Our office is really laid back each person here works hard and stays in their own lane.

Once tours for the visiting students are over instead of taking lunch, I have to head out to teach my leadership class. Teaching is a passion I have so this sparks my day. Although teaching is my passion on Monday this is the hardest park of the day for me because by 12;00PM that 7:30AM breakfast has worn off and my stomach is now openly communicating with me. At 12:50PM my class ends and I walk back to the Admissions Office to finish my day calling, emailing, and udating the records of prospective students. – less

It was University Work. Great benefits such as leave, paid holidays, and medical insurance. Those things were being subtracted as the economy worsened.
The environment was a huge mix of all types of people. I quit to open my own business and help my husband with his.
Most of my original co-workers and management have moved. I stay in touch with a few – more... and one of whom has been a wonderful influence in my life.
A typical day at work filled with some typical daily activities and other days were back to back "Fires to Put Out" or "Opportunities to Overcome." – less

staff members got along well, management not in nursing field, therefore had some unrealistic expectations

Troy University Montgomery has been a wonderful place to hone my skills as both a teacher and academic coach to those students - often working a full-time job - seeking to better themselves both intellectually and financially through the acquisition of knowledge.

Full time professors get perks. part time leaves for little job security. pay rate has decreased since start of employment here. Need more security and consistency. Pluses - stay up to date on technology, subject matter and working with individuals from all aspects of life.

Good Alabama school with extensive online offerings. Currently positioning statement is Alabama's International University.

I went there as a student during undergraduate and graduate school and I loved it. Research is great there too

I normally have to be on time and unlock the facility at 6:00 am, and then come back around 9:00pm to close the facility. My co-workers are very reliable and were very adjustable about when to come into work. The hardest part of the job was simply sitting behind a desk all day with nothing to do. However, I did learn how to be more responsible and it – more... helped me pay my way through college. – less

I loved working for the University. You met new people, you learned how time consuming it really was to assist students and parents from the inside. The environment was excellent, even on the most busy days.

Promises of advancement with degree's, but no advancement. Mass layoffs with last minute notices. Managers tend to suspend people who put in complaints about them or their department in order to deter further complaints.

Insurance is cheap and their leave is generious. Thats about the only good thing with Troy, if you can deter layoffs.

I enjoyed working for Troy University. I was given many opportunities to grow professionally.

Troy Universtiy provides solid education for students with a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. The primary campus is located in Troy, Alabama but they also have site locations globally and offer courses online. It was a great place to work and I loved every day of the job I had with them. My co workers were some of the most incredible – more... people I have ever worked with. Though it has been quite a while since I worked at Troy, and we are scattered all over the country, some of those people are still very good friends and we keep in touch. Every day was different and I knew I could always anticipate a challenge and a reward by the end of the day. If you have the opportunity to work for this school, take it. – less

Troy does not evaluate faculty according to their published standards.

Troy University is one of the most fun and caring places to work. The instructors and administrators are all supportive and know their area of concentration. Students are given the support and hands on techniques and leaning strategies that will help them to become life long learners in the communities.
