Academy of Art University Reviews

Pros

Friendly, Helpful, Respectful, Reliable, Interactive

Cons

Early morning job, can get boring,

Pros

My managers were chill and understanding. No after-hours work.

Cons

Where do I start. The president of the school has no compassion nor care for students. Neither the staff that worked long enough there. Really high turn over. Some departments are hell to work at (like admissions), and other departments are more chill. The overall picture is that people tend to leave as soon as possible. Only greedy or those who stop caring about work/life/student values stay past 1 year. People tend to stay 3-6 months while looking for a better opportunity. The worst is seeing how the school scams students, sells false dreams and preys on them signing on high private loans. If you are desperate for a job and need to pay your bills, it will get you the coin, but try to be on a look out for a better opportunity if you care about students or about your own values at all. The overall reputation of AAU is beyond terrible (no matter where do you look or how hard they try to hide it with all paid publicity on random website. 4% graduation rate should tell scream at you what a bad deal students get for such high tuition) and sooner or later their scam bubble will bust. Shame on you President of AAU. I wonder if you can sleep at night seeing what is your little empire doing to the poor students.

Pros

work-life balance great coworker and teammates great faculties

Cons

poor management, departments don't like to work with each other they don't care about student success as much as enrollment rate demanding management; you are more like a customer services representative and sales than an advisor minimal benefits and employee perk no day off for most holidays no room for growth
