Regis University Reviews

This going to be a long post so I apologize in advance. Upper management in the Admissions area has gone downhill fast. They are trying to look under every rug to find a student. We are becoming a for profit institution. They’ve bullied people out of positions just to hire their frat buddies yet they try to promote themselves as being diverse. They held a large scholarship event promising students money to only turn around and say “no we won’t give anyone money” until faculty gets upset. They give away pity little amounts to try and make themselves look good. What a joke. The head “hauncho” in charge is not a nice person. He doesn’t care about anyone else’s time but his and will work you to death just to try and make himself look good for the board of trustees and president. This is a guy that literally does nothing but work and work and even told several of us how proud he is of what he does and even missed his children’s birthdays and their school events because his ego is that big! I have a family that I value and I value the time I get to spend with them. However, now this person is wanting people to work weekends (staff that don’t even work in Admissions). This wasn’t in my job description when I started. Do we have to use our vacation time on the weekends now? Is that now a requirement? If you look at this place, please please please look elsewhere. There is a major employee turnover problem and student retention is low. They care about their numbers and getting people in the door, but lose their “care” about them once they start the academic year. I’m not stating my role for fear of retaliation because I believe it would go that far with the current person in charge. The guy had a 22 page resume! He goes from job to job and will leave any prior institution a wreck. The board of trustees is just to blame for hiring such a careless and cold hearted individual. To add a cherry on top, there is no cost of living increases. I can barely afford to work. They did a measly compensation study to find they underpaid employees yet even after their little study, they still underpay you! If you enjoy your life, look elsewhere. As a former undergraduate student in Regis College with a now MBA and employee, I’ve seen this place go so far down hill I don’t think it can save itself. The reputation has been tarnished. It upsets me so much that Regis has gone in this direction. I used to love my job and my time here as a student, but working here is toxic. Do not drink the kool aid!

If I could give no stars, I would. The admissions department at Regis University is hell on earth. I beg you to NEVER fill out an application to work there. Working at Regis was a dismal experience, to say the least. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was met with an atmosphere of incompetence and disorganization. It was abundantly clear that management had no clue how to run a cohesive team or foster a positive work environment. The new "leader" only cares about himself and his numbers, so that he can impress upper leadership within the organization. He is a terrible leader, if one can even call him that. They fire and belittle good, hard working people, but have no problem promoting the people that do absolutely nothing. They love to make up stupid titles like "director, dean, assistant dean, deputy chief, etc.," and give those made up titles/promotions to people who are completely undeserving of it. Communication was practically non-existent, with crucial information often withheld or passed along haphazardly. It seemed like every day brought a new set of arbitrary rules and last-minute changes, leaving employees scrambling to keep up with the ever-shifting expectations. The lack of appreciation for employees' efforts was palpable. Despite working tirelessly to meet unrealistic demands, there was never so much as a word of acknowledgment or gratitude from higher-ups. Instead, we were treated as disposable cogs in a malfunctioning machine, easily replaced and quickly forgotten. The pay was insultingly low, especially considering the level of incompetence demonstrated by management. It was abundantly clear that profits were prioritized over the well-being of the staff, leading to a revolving door of disgruntled employees who quickly realized they could do better elsewhere. When I tell you no one lasts a year here, NO ONE does. In short, working at Regis was a soul-crushing experience that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. If you value your sanity and self-respect, steer clear of this toxic cesspool masquerading as a workplace.
