Walden University Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

Work from homeWork from homeWork from home is a benefit

Cons

Work from home was incredibly difficult. No leniency on hours, we were expected to print things on our own dime, and cost of living is overlooked. Adtelam has doomed Walden. If you have a second job or have a family steer clear of Walden or any Adtelam school.

Pros

Work from home and company sends equipment

Cons

Low salary, unrealistic metrics, no opportunities for growth

Pros

Relatively flexible with hours and able to work from home on occasion. I can't think of any other pros. Sorry.

Cons

Underuse and undervaluing of people with extensive experience in their fields. Micromanagement instead of leadership and trust abounded. Loads of backstabbing. It might be completely different in a different department, but if they treat some departments/employees better than others and don't realize what's going on, then that is still, overall, lousy management.

Pros

Ability to work from home ... but that comes at a price Some evidence the problems identified below are not throughout the University but are focused in particular programs.

Cons

The price - student work follows a pattern, everything piled on in the last few days of the week. So Mon - Thu, there could be nothing posted, then everything from Fri - Sun. "Management" is limited to making sure faculty sign in the prescribed number of times, respond to 80% of student posts, do not anger too many students. In other words, check-the-box, CYA practice. At the dissertation level, even less regularity. Past a quick training, there is precious little support for faculty and chairpeople are saddled with having to tell the (oh so often) unqualified students that they simply will not be able to finish a doctorate.
