Pros

CampusWorks is a company that cares about its people and its clients. Their mission to collaborate with colleges and universities to transform the institutional environment so students, faculty and staff thrive - is a worthy endeavor. That makes me excited to start work each day. It is growing fast so the workload is generally heavy and fast paced but upper level management supports work/life balance. It is a place where personal growth is encouraged, and rewards good work and good ideas. We are given a great deal of freedom to make decisions and take action to improve our areas of responsibility. We work with top notch people who share the vision and mission of the company. Our business comes primarily from recommendations from satisfied clients. It is a delight to work for a company that has that kind of reputation. Over and over again, our services and solutions come not from cookie cutter options but rather by listening to our clients needs and giving our great people the freedom to create solutions that work well for our clients. I call that fun - and exciting.

Cons

We are growing very rapidly so the work load often is heavy and fast paced - it is both a positive and a challenge. We are developing processes and implementing systems as we grow which can be challenging and will create some growing pains. It is a part of the process so people need to expect there will be process reevaluation and changes along the way. The good news with that is that we get to be a part of creating our own solutions and impact how things get improved along the way so that we can continue to provide high quality services to our clients. Many of our people do travel often so it is important to value the work we do and the great results we seek to create for our clients enough to make the travel worth while.

Pros

- Pay is average for the position - Never a dull moment - Decent healthcare and vision benefits.

Cons

- No room for growth outside of your position. - Pay. I had to negotiate with hiring manager during my interview to increase pay to the average before I accepted the position. My highest performing coworkers were turned down for promotions, and given below average yearly raises less than even $1/hr USD. Weekends will occasionally be expected to be worked with no overtime pay, under the guise that you can "take that time off" on a following work date. Some of my coworkers have even worked extreme hours off the clock to keep operations moving forward. This is extremely wrong, and they should be fairly compensated for their efforts with nothing other than money. - Workload is impossible to keep up with, depending on the campus you work for. The goal post will be moved further if you ever manage to meet expectations. - Benefits. 401k matching is abysmal, with mediocre life insurance and no accidental death and dismemberment insurance - Company culture. The location I work at is ran on fear. My coworkers have no hope of ever satisfying the customer and simply seek to be reprimanded as little as possible. Our most important system engineer had their hours cut simply due refusing a low paid full time salary employment and staying as an hourly contractor, which is extremely petty behavior and negatively impacts the campus. - Resources. At my campus, there is such an egregious lack of resources that simple tasks requiring purchases become week long activities. Systems are kept functioning as long as possible with duct tape and bubblegum.
