Not a good place to work - Anonymous employee Unity Environmental University Employee Review

Pros

There are genuinely good people who care about students (they’re all leaving, (though).

Cons

There is a mass exodus out of that place. Turn over is so high, inconsistent expectations is the norm, there is zero flexibility, and the powers that be are so defensive about “negative” alumni that nothing can get accomplished. It is incredibly toxic and abusive. It is normal for people to cry, dramatically quit, and/or try their best to shrink out of sight, but everyone gets their turn at being the focus of leadership’s ire. They are intentionally trying to hire people from out of state who haven’t heard about Unity because their reputation as a workplace is so poor.

Pros

Stable/predictable. Upon completing onboarding managing caseload is straightforward with a simple cadance to work.

Cons

Performance gets additional work with no compensation, metrics only used to penalize not reward. Management style is poor and seems to exist solely to isolate workers into very tiny pools of interactions. No meaningful feedback loop, with vital information getting outright ignored for long periods until it balloons into larger problems. While individuals can be exceptional the structure prevents meaningful communication between departments. Decisions will go live with no communication and expectations that others clean up messes from changes no one knew was coming. With the students being the ones to suffer the worst consequences.
