Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Point Park University part-time for more than a year
Pros
Close proximity to town, students are enthusiastic. Friendly and professional faculty and staff.
Cons
Underpaid staff. It’s too expensive to commute by bus daily and the University doesn’t reimburse parking or transit. They will keep your hours in check so you can’t gain any benefits.
Advice to Management
More staff would stay if wages were better across the board.

Pros
Access to free education and paid Holidays
Cons
Lower pay scale than other surrounding institutions with similar job titles. Promotions not based on merit but favoritism. Cramped space with inadequate ventilation for some offices. Verbally abusive faculty with no regard for ticketing systems and time management. Overpromising and Underdelivering from Management.
Advice to Management
Value your employees first.
