Adding onto another review here advising readers not to work here: don't do it.

Trust me: they can say they're like a family' all they want, but the truth is that management is incredibly petulant with a superiority complex. 

If you weren't available outside working hours, there was a 100% chance a reprimanding message was in your inbox the following day. When I explained that I worked exclusively during the hours stated in my contract, they pretended to understand but continued complaining about how 'difficult I was to reach.' The back and forth became so exhausting that I felt forced to be available outside working hours even when I wasn't paid for overtime.

Many-a-time I was instructed to perform tasks outside the scope of my work. When I brought up a compensation raise to adjust to the consistent increase in job duties, I was met with not only a 'no' but also a sense of incredibility from management. It felt like they were shocked at my audacity in asking for a raise when my pay didn't match my new responsibilities. Dramatically increasing your workload after signing a contract is common practice in the company.

Working here is seeing people come and go every week. I was offered a full-time contract after three months, which wasn't honored. The turnover is no joke. Plus, the higher-ups love to act friendly to you but gossip and bad-mouth you to each other behind your back. Be careful who you say things to. Even the most minor things will become a topic among them. Very high-school.

I have worked for many companies, and all of them have been very hierarchical, you have to go through so many hoops just to make any changes. CIU works like a start-up company. There is a structure in place but there is a lot of room for implementing new initiatives and making change. 
A 4 day work week (32 hours) has been introduced, but they still pay for 40 hours. No salary adjustments.
95% of the company are working remotely, and employees are given flexibility for their own schedule - the emphasis is based on results, not the number of hours worked.
Like all companies, there are improvements to be made, there are daily problems and challenges to face, but that's also a good thing, it keeps things fresh and exciting - no two days are the same!

Collaborative Culture:
Teamwork is at the heart of our workplace culture. Colleagues don't just work alongside each other; they actively collaborate, share ideas, and celebrate each other's successes. 

Focus on Growth and Development: 
The company invests in its employees through mentorship opportunities and continuous learning initiatives and development.

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance:  
Fantastic work-life balance with 4 Day work week and Remote Work

Four days work week and remote 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything unbelievable metrics and KPI.  Micromanagement every hour of every day 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They give you a four day work week  so don't be surprised when they tell you you have to work.."off the clock"

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
All day they micromanage.  You have to say good morning in several chats.  So the bosses know you are working.  They want you to do mid morning check ins about your work load.  So many micro aggression I can't list them all

Working at CIU has truly been an enriching experience.  Since COVID, CIU has created a collaborative virtual environment.  CIU takes a student-first approach as well as creates a best place to work atmosphere for all employees.  The leadership at CIU is approachable and visionary.  I am proud to be a member of this leadership team.  Working at CIU for the past 4 years has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The combination of a supportive community, a commitment to innovation, strong leadership, and a focus on professional development makes CIU a great place to work.

Many students are not American English fluent.

Team oriented work culture and performance encouraged.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Teach and facilitate learning for students working on their business degree.

Since the new president has taken over many changes have been made to impact employee and student experience. Its an employee first and student-first approach now. We're currently growing the population and students are liking the new resources we've provided. Management has been great open-door culture and always approachable. The growth of this school is coming a good time to be at CAL UNIVERSITY.

The turnover is ridiculous for a company of this size. They like to claim that they are like a family and have a startup culture, that is just an excuse to assign a ridiculous amount of work, and you are expected to be available at all times. Do not work here and plan to be at the company for a long time. The pay is low and they started outsourcing the majority of the jobs and firing many of the employees. 

California Intercontinental University has implemented four-day workweeks, which have helped create an extreme work-life balance. Also, CIU is a University that helps recognize and promote individuals that are results-driven, professional, and have a teamwork approach. We encourage ideas and collaboration from our employees and if you like a fast-paced growing environment that is us.
