Palm Beach Atlantic University

I love working at PBA University and I'm blessed to be a part of this Christian University.
The University provides a steady workflow, with high peaks during the beginning, end of the semesters, also really busy during the school summer and winter breaks with different projects, and that's a good thing.
I don't know about other teams, but my leadership team ROCKS, making sure that we have the resources to complete our duties and projects, even if the budgets sometimes won't allow different projects to take place.
The hardest part of the job is to get some of the team members to respond in a timely manner, which sometimes aggravates some of our constituents.
Most enjoyable part is serving the constituents and making sure that they're receiving the much-needed support in a timely manner.
Great benefits, matching 403b retirement plan, vacation days, sick time, sailfish days, paid holidays time off, great campus location, great working environment, all of these Palm Beach Atlantic University benefits make me feel appreciated for my work.
I hope that PBA will continue this trend and that opportunities for advancement will arise.
If you're a Christian and love serving God, this is the place to be!

You are sorting through mail and organizing packages into their respective sections. You are to ensure everyone receives their parcels in timely order, and you are to send out mail/parcels in a timely, organized manner. You will learn the different shipping methods and rates of each parcel delivery service, and you will learn how to organize and log things into their respective order. The coworkers are awesome, and they are there to work with you and make sure you all run a tight ship. Also, you can breathe easily too, since this is mostly a temporary, work study college job. Thus, you are getting work done while being relaxed doing so. The downside is that this is a temporary job, unless you fill out extra paperwork to try to gain part or full-time employment there; of course, this is if there are any positions open.

Most of the co-workers are great and work very hard and are dedicated to the students.  But one wrong word from you and you get fired, even when it is taken out of context.  Management culture is unforgiving and abrupt, not Christian at all.
No kindness, empathy, mediation or investigation if you are accused of something.  They just fire you and tell you it is confidential. 

Run by so-called "Christians" that were extremely ignorant and just plain mean. Sure, there were some nice people there. But my department had some of the meanest women I have ever met. They would start drama for no reason and pile on unrealistic amounts of work for low pay. Make a big deal about something to distract everyone else from the fact that they didn't know what they were doing, which was fairly obvious. Very dysfunctional environment.

If you go there, use it as a stepping stone. On the outside, the institution is well respected. But ask any former employee, and they will tell you it has a dirty under belly.

Palm Beach Atlantic University is an excellent place to work particularly for people with a strong Christian faith and world view. In my experience,  having worked under different managers has been positive.  The work environment is pleasant,  uplifting and encouraging and there are opportunities for growth and promotion.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co-workers in the College of Nursing. The only reason why I left is that I took a full-time job where I was not allowed to teach at any other university.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None. Everyone was supportive and you never felt alone. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cannot speak of the university itself. But the CON was great.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
What is the normal workday as with  academia. You are autonomous, and no micromanagement, which is a plus.

Arrive to work by 8 am. Staff meeting by 9 am. Practice at 11 am. Phone calls at 12. Small group training at 2 and 3 pm. Study hall at 3 pm. Recruit local games at 7 pm.

I learned university politics.

My management consisted of the athletic director and university President.

My co-workers were the other coaches. My staff consisted of a part-time assistant coach, volunteer operations coordinator, student managers.

Hardest part of job was operating with a fraction of the resources compared to competiton.

Most enjoyable part of the job was building young men to be future leaders of our community.

I greatly enjoyed my time here and learned so much. During the beginning of the semester, there's always work to do, but it's never overwhelming. Once most students have turned in their forms, there is a decent amount of down time to work on homework. I learned many useful tasks such as working excel proficiently, navigating a medical software, scanning documents into an online database, and basic customer service and professional skills. The staff in the office are friendly, patient, and care about their students tremendously. 

Teaching fitness and dance classes including modern, ballet, jazz, and dance team coaching....days sometimes “ flew” by as the work is so enjoyable and the students were tremendously talented. PBAU provided a unique opportunity to choreograph and present a variety of dance concert pieces including student showcase, liturgical dance, and half time shows ( glad we never got the dances or music mixed up with the venue). Proof that God exists. Happy to have this experience. PBAU is a great place to work, study, or donate your life savings.

The benefits of working for the university are great, gym access, lunch once per week, and great health and life benefits.
However, the treatment I received in the HR department from management was anything but Christian.  Poor communication, blame-shifting, inadequate training because of busy schedules, and department heads clearly had tension.  I would consider working for the university but never again in that department.
Also, higher education politics is not removed from PBAU just because they are Christian.
