RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Fuller Theological Seminary part-time for more than a year
Pros
It was a great opportunity to work while going to school full time. Working events also allowed me to listen to many awesome lectures and continue my education all while working a soundboard.
Cons
Limited scale for events. It's a small school, so there wasn't tons of room to be stretched in new technology.

Cons
- The C-suit management is a disaster at this school. They don't know what they are doing. As mentioned by other reviewers, you don't know if you are going to be the next person in their continued layoff seasons. - Lack of trust in the management in another issue here. There are contradictory messages from the top. Promises have been made to review the salary for the staff but months later, you learned that there would be salary reduction. Staff have been working for some years without any increase in salary despite increasing cost of living in Pasadena

Pros
I think the majority (though certainly not all) of the people who work here are well-intentioned and try to help students have a positive seminary experience.
Cons
Working here feels like you are on a runaway train to nowhere and I think there are too many big egos in upper management right now for this institution to ever return to the point where it is somewhat functional and economically viable. For example, everyone acknowledges that the Board and Management have made egregious financial errors in the past, and also that these were never dealt with, but somehow people are able to sweep all that under the rug because of the people implicated. The institution as a whole loves setting up complex rules and procedures, but actually following through on them is a different story; if you're part of the "in crowd" the rules don't apply to you. As one other reviewer observed, there's a lot of communication from the top, but it usually lacks any real substance, mainly because they just don't know what they are doing.
