Grand Canyon University Employee Reviews about "low pay"

Pros

Continuous part-time work teaching up to two classes at a time.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other universities and you spend a significant amount of time online with students.

Pros

Opportunities to teach multiple classes

Cons

Pay---the amount of work required to do a great job results in pay equal to or less than minimum wage

Pros

They're a Christian university and everyone is pleasant to work with.

Cons

They pay is awful and raises are promised but not guaranteed.

Pros

Onboarding, training, mentoring, instructional resources

Cons

Pay is extremely low for the number of hours required to do all that is expected.

Pros

Pay. But I have to type 5 words here?

Cons

Pay for enrollment is comparatively high but the 'pain' you will go through in this place is not worth it. Employees of 2 years + are considered 'veterans'... They will lie to you and tell you the job is about servicing the students but please don't fall for this as counselor positions are all strictly numbers driven. Popularity over performance. All upper management is from UoP. The only thing consistent there is their inconsistency.

Pros

they believe in servant leadership and it shows.

Cons

As a student worker the pay is not very good and the hours are limited.

Pros

The students are great and communication is generally easy. There is decent faculty support if you have a question.

Cons

Pay is for in class time only - no pay for prep or grading and you are expected to be available to students 7 days a week. University policy also lets students turn in work after the end of the semester.

Pros

The students are the same as students across the United States. They really need help. They want to learn.

Cons

• The Ajunct pay is extremely low; it is about 50% of what you can make at a regular State University. To teach a class that meets on campus 2 or 3 times a week, with an enrollment between 20-30 students, GCU will pay you $2,000 - $2,500 for the entire semester. • Moreover, you – the employee- have to pay for parking. • In addition, GCU expects you to attend on campus meetings and take on-going teaching quizzes about GCU to earn “certificates.” • The Learning Management System is the cheapest in the industry; it is called Loud Cloud and was not designed by educators. • The campus itself is very unattractive. • There is no library. • Turnover is very high among the employees and students with limited knowledge run the IT department.

Pros

Work independently in an online environment

Cons

Management need to be more user friendly and improve the rate of pay for virtual faculty

Pros

Good culture and team work. The management was very supportive and responsive. Meaningful work and the students are above average compared to other online programs. Flexible work hours. Retirement plan.

Cons

The pay is low for the amount of work that is expected and no pay increase/cost of living raises.
