First and foremost, since I know people rarely read all of these long-winded reviews, I want you all to know that you shouldn’t believe most of the 5 star reviews on here. I know for a fact that current employees added their reviews to try and boost CSU-Global’s glassdoor score. This is not conjecture – they told me they did it. They are not honest reviews and that’s why they aren’t detailed. Anyway, I don’t normally leave reviews, ever, however I feel compelled to warn the world about this place and the harm that it causes. I waited until the emotional PTSD from this company wore off before I wrote my review so that I could be sure that my review was honest. And in ALL HONESTY…run for the hills if you’re offered a job here. Seriously, you’ll thank me (and all of the other reviewers who said so) later. I've know multiple people who left here and needed medication or therapy, not joking. There’s so much to warn you against but in an effort to keep it as short as possible, let me sum it up for you. I’ve never worked at a company where so many people leave against their will (ie, they are fired or laid off). I distinctly remember that during the first all-staff meeting I attended, Dr. Becky said that they expect everyone to work hard (an understatement) and not expect to be paid much (a truthful statement) and if you don’t like it, you can leave. She then proceeded to start almost every meeting that way for the years I worked here. Clearly, it's a churn and burn mentality. And that, right there, is the crux of the problem with CSU-Global. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is dispensable. It does not matter how hard you work, how many hours you put in, the title you achieve, even how ethically you approach your job…you mean nothing to Dr. Becky. CSU-Global likes to put its people into positions that they are not prepared for, not provide any training or resources and then when they, inevitably, fail, fire them and get someone else to do the work instead. Never once do they stop and ask what they are doing wrong? That’s the first sign of insanity, right? Doing the same thing and expecting a different result…Dr. Becky will never take responsibility for the awful conditions she both tolerates and perpetuates. Why? Well, she gets “results,” according to the Board of Governors. And, apparently, they don’t seem to mind who she mutilates in order to get those results. Introspection and self awareness are foreign terms to Dr. Becky, she's the most clueless person in the university. The most ironic part is that NO ONE tells her anything, they hide most of the issues from her because they know that as soon as she finds out, she'll overreact and start reorganizing and firing. This literally just happened to an entire department THAT WASN'T BROKEN - their numbers were better than most universities...but she overpromised and underdelivered and had to throw someone under the bus. For example, she has no idea that the student management system has been in shambles for over a year. She doesn't know half of the systems are broken or partially working, making everyone's job more difficult. I sat through meeting after meeting where there were plans about HOW to hide things from her. Honestly, she's a joke and a cancer to a university that could be great. But it will never be great with an imbecile leading it.

The workload is pretty heavy, so if you don't enjoy your job, it would be hard to stay motivated and keep up the pace.

Pros

None, they mislead you into taking a three week unpaid training with no promise of work. Rate them less than zero.

Cons

Unethical university. Unpaid "hunger games" style unpaid training that leads to being ghosted even if you do all the work.

We recognize that this is a time commitment for professionals. To ensure all candidates receive clear expectations, it is part of our process to provide clear communication on the course and its timeline in the initial interview process, as well as provide updates to all candidates on the results.
