Ana G. Mendez

It’s incredibly disappointing to witness how unprofessional the management has become. There’s a clear lack of leadership, empathy, and accountability. It’s as if the well-being of the employees is the last thing on their list—if it’s even on the list at all.

The culture has become toxic, driven by poor communication, favoritism, and a complete disregard for the mental and emotional health of the staff. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, management seems to thrive on control, fear, and chaos.

And speaking honestly, the Director of Admissions is one of the biggest contributors to the dysfunction. They exemplify everything that’s wrong with the organization: unapproachable, disrespectful, and consistently unwilling to work as part of a team. Instead of leading by example, they bring down morale and create unnecessary tension.

It’s clear that employees are viewed as disposable rather than valued contributors. No one can thrive in a place where leadership has no integrity or concern for the people who keep the place running.

Ana G. Méndez University has been my professional home for the past 14 years, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences, growth, and relationships I’ve cultivated during this time. It has been more than just a workplace—it has been a space where I’ve developed both personally and professionally, shaped by a mission-driven institution committed to access, diversity, and student success.

Throughout my tenure, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside dedicated colleagues, support students from diverse backgrounds, and contribute to initiatives that made a real impact. The university’s dynamic environment pushed me to continuously learn, adapt, and lead. I gained invaluable experience in admissions, enrollment management, leadership, and strategic planning—skills that I now carry with me as I prepare for the next chapter in my career.

Good things come to an end only to make way for new beginnings. I leave Ana G. Méndez University proud of what I’ve accomplished and inspired by what lies .

Best of luck to all.



My leadership skills have been polished in many ways. I inherited a department with with lack of motivation and with unclear goals. This presented a great opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge and improvement were easy to measure. One  challenge was create the awareness and appreciation of their jobs and to help them understand the  importance of their work for the institution. I learned the importance of good communication and respect comes over friendship. The hardest part of my job was the sluggish economy of Puerto Rico. The significant reduction of the population in our country has affected our revenues. This lead us to be more creative with our budeget and the use of our resourses, l
 I enjoy my job and always try to make the best of every situation. Every day I find a challange, thats my fuel. Without that, it would not be worth the effort.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you like to work in a micromanagement, humanless environment, welcome. The only good thing was the benefits and they no longer exist. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no communication, there is a lack of direction. They always make last minute changes without taking in consideration the effects it may have on the operation. The decision makers are not held accountable.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awful. There is always gossiping from all levels, there is no confidentiality and you must "know" the key people in order to get things done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Changes all the time, no processes in place, everything is manual even though there are tools in place. Lack of documentation and communication.

I really enjoyed to work at Ana G. Mendez University of El Turabo. I started as a professor of Business Administration on 1998 and then i had the privilege to work as a Director for the CDAF which was a center to teach the Faculty to integrate technology in their class rooms. This initiative talks bold about the University and its interest for improvement and advancement starting in educational roots. 
This institutions pursues excellency in all aspects, encourages  students and employees to do the best and it really takes in consideration the globalization movement in order to enhance their academics. I felt enriched as a professional there.

A great day at work will be been on time at the facilities and enjoy what I do. Work in a concept of team group if its the case and work having on mind that I represent what ever I do. I will learn new tools, trainning giving by the training department, learned from experiencies on the field and manage the company as its my company. I will always be open to work in a safe, group team and respectfully enviroment. I will have in mind that in my job will be a hard part if some criminal incident occur and found my self unable to do something to help. i will enjoy for sure a short time taking to sing a Happy Birthday to a co-worker.or sing their favore song. Also, share receving a new born from others co-workers

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping adult learners reach their professional goals.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The financial status of the company is very weak. They have been struggling for years, and the executive team, including the grandson president, doesn't know what they are doing- or maybe it's a shell operation and they don't care???

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lacks structure and commitment to supporting ground operations. Too many top positions, and the campuses are understaffed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Reactionary. There is always an urgent situation that has to get solved.

That's a difficult question – because there's a lot I like about my current job.  I want to move on because I'm looking for a new and greater challenge – not because I dislike my current job.  But to tell you what I enjoy most about it, I'd say that I enjoy giving direct support to senior management in a way that really makes a difference.  The contribution I make is vital to their ability to make key financial decisions which ultimately influence the overall success of the business.  I enjoy the challenge; I enjoy the responsibility and I enjoy the methodical and precise approach which is necessary for me to deliver the information the management rely upon.

Be prepared for the unexpected from the moment you walk in.  Lack of management and work-life balance is one of their biggest issues. Unexpected changes of schedule and time off can occur. No compensation, recognition or raises for employees of their hard work or opportunity for professional growth. The only and most enjoyable part of the job is the support from peers and working together. Higher administration is very clicky. Owner runs it like a corporation and not as an educational institution.
