      A Great Place to Work!

      Financial aid counselor

      Pros

      Kind, supportive, and welcoming staff with a focus on serving the unique student body. Leadership that genuinely appreciates their employees and gives them room to improve existing processes. Working at Western is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The campus is beautiful and well landscaped and a short distance from SE Hawthorne and Mt. Tabor park.

      Cons

      Small campus that doesn't offer all the amenities that you may expect working at a college. Administration is housed in a beautiful older home so space is limited as are electrical outlets. Western uses an in house created management software which is a headache and a half!

      Great people, strong mission, but very low pay

      Associate director of admissions
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Amazing people who care for our students (mostly counselors and ministry minded people). Beautiful main campus in Portland which is strongly connected to the neighborhood. Solid theology that lives itself out in relationships. Strong new leadership will hopefully steer us wisely for decades. If you need health insurance and want tuition credits that's available. It's a fun environment of dedicated people who make the most of shoe-string budgets.

      Cons

      Understaffed departments are very concerning. Entry level jobs (i.e., maintenance, advising, admissions, admin) are all paid extremely low. If you don't need the health insurance, you are not compensated for it. Tuition credits build up slowly over 3 years to the maximum amount with different level available depending on how many hours your work each week. Lack of flexibility in some departments for perks like flexible work hours, working from home, being a counseling student while working full-time, etc.
