Hempstead, NY

Current Employee – been working at Hofstra University as a contractor for more than a year

ProsThere is a great feeling here on the Hofstra campus, one of belonging. The energy is awesome. Teaching at my alma mater had been a long-time goal, and I was thrilled when it became a reality.

ConsWould like to be here full-time! Because I am a special instructor in the Continuing Ed division, I don't get involved in the politics of campus life.

Advice to Senior ManagementWould like to see additional faculty opportunities open up.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Hempstead, NY

Current Employee – been working at Hofstra University part-time for more than a year

ProsIf you like teaching, Hofstra is great.
Colleagues are easy to get a long with.
Everyone is helpful and will get you what you need if you ask.

ConsUnfortunately, currently shrinking, so the number of classes available to teach is going to decrease. Some of the more senior staff is retiring in the next few years and it is a shame to see them go.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing exactly what you are doing. Fight to get more students into the math program and encourage more participation through student clubs.

Former Employee – worked at Hofstra University

ProsVery professional setting, yet very relaxed at the same time. Supervisors are very laid back as long as you do your job well.

ConsCustomer service based jobs may be stressful at times due to the high volume of students to serve. That's about it.

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't change a thing.
