What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent departmental (nursing) communication and oversight. Someone is always available to respond to faculty questions regarding students & policies.   Online reference materials are effective, user-friendly, and well-maintained.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Increased exposure to students with academic integrity issues; There is a need for improved academic insight or prepping students for expected behaviors in higher education and professionalism. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Adequate.  Did not feel welcome as a mentor/adjunct at the on-site graduation. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not applicable; I am a remote educator/mentor.

I think that this institution has the worst bunch of administrators like ever worked at. I don't know what they were taught when it comes to getting a quality product out of variety of individuals, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is that there be some recognition of what is ideal and what is unacceptable. Far too many of the courses I taught at this institution were designed so poorly that the design of the course defeated the students far more than the students EFFORTS. I found that very sad and very frustrating.

Our department was a newer one in which we dealt with a variety of concerns facing the university--particularly as it pertained to student matriculation. As such, it was fulfilling to me becoming well-versed in an array of issues common to tertiary education. When complex questions arose, there were always resources made available in putting them to rest; and there wasn't a single day where I didn't feel like I wasn't making a lasting difference.

If I had one disappointment, it would have been that our synergistic team wasn't empowered to do more for the institution's long-term interests.

"Mentoring" is what teaching is called at TESU. The courses are set up by others--and there are some flaws in that, mainly involving the lack of clarity in a lot of the instructions, which are often too vague and lead students to misunderstanding what is sought. Mentors often need to make up for that, but other than that one issue, it's a good system.

College seems to poorly train instructors, then yells at them for not knowing select issues.
NO raises-EVER!  When you ask, administration states they see no cost of living increases and poor pay.  these poor pay issues may trigger unionization or worse mid-course failures.  LOWEST pay for online programs across the country!

Autonomy is key. I love the travel I do and getting out and talking to student prospects. Remote work is a gift, but time management is a must. I've learned a lot about business environment and competition in higher-education overall.

Great University with valuable assets as it relates to its mission and the team members who support it. Its mission is to provide education to the adult population and be the institution called upon for learners looking to complete their education at a distance. They do this exceptionally well.

Incredible place to work. Very relaxed, happy, family oriented and cannot say enough great things about the place as an employee. Amazing compensation, work/life balance, flexibiliy, etc

Wonderful institution to work for.  The culture is great.  Support is always available. Most enjoyable part of the job is helping ambitious students make it through their classes.

The university will allow you to learn and enhance your skills but has low opportunity to advance up the ladder.  People tend to stay in the workplace well past retirement age.
