area coordinator

Waldorf University

Excellent training and development.  Focused on excellent customer service both internally and external.  Provide respect to all employees and customers.  Dedicated to change peoples lives through education.  This work place had strong Christian values and demonstrated integrity through every phase of the workplace on a daily basis.

Change was looked upon favorably to ensure company strength and longevity. 

Hardest part of the job was having to leave it due to relocation.

Working with co-workers and hearing the success story of our students.  Providing excellence through leadership and watching the team develop.

 Favoritism is hard to ignore, and who you get along with seems to matter more than the quality of your work. The gossip is constant, and don't expect conversations with leadership to stay amongst you and your leader. Managers will smile in your face, then turn around and discuss your business with other employees. I can only speak from an admissions standpoint. Very cliquey and you will get Ignored or made to feel like you aren’t part of the team. 

There's also a lot of petty behavior and passive-aggressiveness. Rather than addressing issues professionally, management often throws subtle shade or handles situations based on emotions.  

If you're looking for a workplace with strong leadership, professionalism, and transparency, this wasn't my experience. The job itself could have been rewarding, but the culture made it difficult to enjoy coming to work.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Horrendous pay, awful training, I mean the worst training experience I’ve ever experienced! Management seems annoyed when you ask questions about how to do the job properly, but the training was lackluster. Reading from documents is not training, and shadowing for a few hours here and there isn’t sufficient either. They should take notes from other schools that offer comprehensive, structured training programs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The workload and not knowing what I’m doing due to poor training 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I’m more of a stick to myself, do my job and log out but everyone seems okay.

This job is a high school.  Leadership allows a hostile working environment. You do not receive a proper training, however every mistake that you make will be corrected. Via email from every department. If you are not apart of the click you will not be promoted and your daily working environment will be miserable! Management makes excuses for conflict within departments. While ignoring the issue.  The toxic working environment causes a high turnover rate!. The pay rate still is not worth the daily stress! It is not inclusive nor diverse at all!!!!!!!

Low pay without raise. No bonus. It is a job to have if you want to waste your day and have nothing to show for it. You’ll spend all day getting ridiculed for the one thing you do wrong, vs the million things you do right. No one knows what they are doing or what their job even is. Flip burgers at a local joint near you instead of wasting your time with the Waldorf headache you’ll get. 

Hourly pay could be better but the other benefits including health insurance and tuition discount are both fantastic.  Leadership in my department is so positive and uplifting!  Great mix of people on my team.  Would pick the set hours, benefits, and nice people over retail or hospitality 10 times out of 10.

Admissions counselors are treated poorly. They are overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. An admissions counselor is not a “sales” position. If you don’t “sell” families on Waldorf or do anything to get kids to go there, you will be unsuccessful. All they care about is getting people through the doors; they do not care to actually advise young adults on their college journey. 

Typical day would attending classes still as a student and evening starting at 7 pm an RA would than go on duty usually till 12 or 2 am depending on what day of the week it would be. Assisted with other Residents with lock out and if they needed to get into parts of the building they were unable to access, also had to interact with police and ambulance worker if any intendants required it.

Being a student editor for Waldorf University's online newspaper was a work-study job that required editing, journalism and leadership skills. Many challenges like overseeing my fellow student writers, editing several different types of writing levels, and working with deadlines were presented to me.

Very poor online leadership. The online staff has very little to no experience regarding employees on how important it is to take care of employees and their families.  Everything is secret until they determine to terminate you without cause or notification—very little concern for students and organizations that help with promoting the university.
