Pros

Sarasota is a hard market to find a truly professional job but Everglades University is a good place if you are a hard worker. I have been promoted twice in 4 years - have fully covered insurance benefits and enjoy my work with the students. This is a campus where most of the administration has been promoted from within. I really enjoy working with students that want to make a change in their lives. Our work schedules are build around what is best for working students. I knew when I started that this would not be a 9 to 5 job but I have never been asked to work Sunday and have always been able to take time off when I needed it. I have been offered opportunities with other companies since starting at Everglades but I am glad that I have stayed where I am.

Cons

This is a young school that is working hard to build its campuses and there may be stress in working toward that goal but any professional knows you have to work hard to get good results.

Pros

I have worked in Admissions with Everglades University - Tampa for just over 9 months now. When I first was starting out, Admissions was brand new to me. I was worried that it was something that I was not going to do well at. However, thanks to the insightful training and ample support from both my team here in Tampa and the leadership from the main campus, I feel like I have really found my footing. Back in October of 2024, I knew nothing about the Admissions process, but in just a few months I took off and even got promoted to Senior Admissions Counselor. Everglades University is a place where Admissions Counselors can truly make bonds with their students and impact on the lives for the better. Also, the people who work here make the experience even better! And if you work for the Tampa campus, expect a lot of birthday cake celebrations in your future! Tampa has a great campus culture.

Cons

Depending on your outlook, some days can be busy, but I see this as a positive because the day flies by!

Pros

The team of ACs typically get along well.

Cons

Probably the most toxic place I’ve ever experienced. As other reviews stated, this place is a revolving door. Everyone is anxious, it’s impossible to meet expectations and the threat of being written up or fired is now a huge factor.
