Pros

Sarasota is a hard market to find a truly professional job but Everglades University is a good place if you are a hard worker. I have been promoted twice in 4 years - have fully covered insurance benefits and enjoy my work with the students. This is a campus where most of the administration has been promoted from within. I really enjoy working with students that want to make a change in their lives. Our work schedules are build around what is best for working students. I knew when I started that this would not be a 9 to 5 job but I have never been asked to work Sunday and have always been able to take time off when I needed it. I have been offered opportunities with other companies since starting at Everglades but I am glad that I have stayed where I am.

Cons

This is a young school that is working hard to build its campuses and there may be stress in working toward that goal but any professional knows you have to work hard to get good results.

Pros

An institution that deeply cares about its students and its mission. The staff all care about their work and encourage each other to do better. I have had a great experience with my management team and find support from others in my role.

Cons

In any academic setting, there is stress and deadlines, but my staff has always been in my corner and supported me during high stress times.

Pros

The team of ACs typically get along well.

Cons

Probably the most toxic place I’ve ever experienced. As other reviews stated, this place is a revolving door. Everyone is anxious, it’s impossible to meet expectations and the threat of being written up or fired is now a huge factor.
