Complicit in Sexual Harrassment

Pros

Working for this company provides a unique opportunity to serve military personnel pursuing their college degrees online. Many of these students would otherwise not be able to earn their degrees because the traditional brick and mortar institution is simply not an option.

Cons

This company has a long history of complicity in sexual harassment of female staff and faculty. Even repeat offenders are not held accountable for their actions.

Thank you for the work you did while at Trident. As one of the lowest priced WASC regionally accredited Universities, salary increases can be a challenge. Still, valuing our colleagues and treating them with respect is a key part of our core values (https://www.trident.edu/why-trident/values/. We’ve listened to feedback and conducted internal assessments to help make great strides in improving customer service and other process issues at Trident. That said, we welcome suggestions for improving the overall experience of our students and employees. If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, please contact me, Melissa Rothmeyer, Vice President of Human Resources at melissa.rothmeyer@trident.edu or 714-816-0366 (ext. 2585). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and all the best in your future endeavors.
