Pace University Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Pace University part-time for more than a year

Pros – good job for a student and very helpful

Cons – ends after graduation and no opportunity to keep back

Advice to Senior Management – very involved with student assistants

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Pace University full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – -Get to work downtown by South Street Seaport if you are in the NYC campus.
-Staff can be pretty friendly.
-Tuition reimbursement is great if you wish to get a degree.
-Lots of vacation time. 15 days starting off I think and it accrues up to 21 each year. Unlimited sick time so long as it's not abused.
-Room for career growth within university due to high turnover.
-Good place to gain some work experience on resume.

Cons – -Gets super busy in September and January when students come back.
-High turnover for employees because they simply don't pay very well. Executives and directors get to sign contracts for lots of money which leaves the actual employees who make the university run with very little money.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in your employees who make the university run. It's the staff that helps the university run on a day to day basis. Don't treat them like easily replaceable commodities.

Former Employee – worked at Pace University part-time for more than a year

Pros – Free tuition as a grad assistant. The school is relatively small so you can be heard and seen when you need the attention of the "higher ups"

Cons – Not the most prestigious institution out there. It's a school, so the individuals who should be fired are usually allowed to stay on, and continue to make life difficult for those who are genuinely trying their best. Also being a non profit institution, you can't expect too much in the way of salary.

Pros – Tools, technology and resources to do your job. Professionally supportive. From first day of employment 22 vacation days + the week between Christmas and New Year's off as another paid week vacation.

Cons – New upper management in division is not supportive and does not create the sence of "team" and camaraderie that there used to be. Only received advancement in salary after HR reviewed salary levels and evaluations compared to others in similar positions both at Pace and other institutions.
