Walden University Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

-got to work from home -received a paycheck -some coworkers were friendly, especially when you were all suffering together

Cons

-toxic environment -Walden is run more like a business than a school -No work/life balance -Constantly short staffed/high turnover -Micromanagement -Unrealistic work load leading to stress and burnout -Restrictive program policies that ultimately hinder students -As a result, having to be constantly berated by students via phone & email who are upset by these policies and the inefficiency of the office even though it’s the fault of leadership and not you (you’re essentially being set up to fail) -No accountability held by leadership. More times than not, students are having horrible experiences while Walden collects more of their money and boasts about education for good.

Pros

Cons

Work life balance does not exists It's a revolving door

Work life balance and bosses

Pay is okay but could be better

Pros

Globally aware company, Flexible work/life balance for most, great pay and benefits depending on what you're doing. Very community centered and well known in volunteer efforts and partnerships.

Cons

Pay and raises aren't reflective or talent. There are too many with talent who are getting the short end of the stick compared to others with less education, less time on the job and less accolades.

Pros

Good that I don’t work their anymore. Nothing more to share. Glassdoor stop asking me to write pro’s for this company.

Awful work hours. They treat you like SLAVES, for the money they offer you. No work life balance, you have to request to take days off, like whaaaatt? I earned that vacation.

Pros

benefits, quality of co-workers, mission

Cons

work life balance. None other.

Pros

Cons

- Recent acquisition to Adtalem was a little bumpy, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Pros

Holidays off, vacation and sick time, work life balance, change schedule every few months, Health benefits, easy job.

Cons

Only promote those who have an "In". If your a high producer director will block you from moving up

Pros

Great Benefits. great co-worker. good work life balance.

Cons

Company is ever growing so could always use more staff to meet the demands.

Pros

The only good reason to work there is for the benefits and the occasional work from home day.

Cons

There is no work life balance. Leadership is oblivious to the volume of work and the amount of time it takes to accomplish tasks. They claim to care about students but really only care about the bottom line. Salary is low for this profession. Highly stressful.
