Ellucian reviews

Too much work load on one employee to handle multiple responsibilities! They will bring you in for as cheap as possible and then they will let the contractors go, so that money can be saved. Then they will make you take up all the work and over burden you without little or no training. You will have to figure out everything on your own which wastes time and energy. Doesn’t make the work enjoyable even if you really try to. They will work you like a dog every single day without any appreciation. Only the senior and favorites get recognition while the hardworking lower employees are looked upon as mere laborers. Go somewhere else where you think your worth will be recognized. This isn’t the place. You will feel like you are nothing but a servant to them. They want to bring in smart people for less money and treat them like unworthy candidates.

Hard to say as so many. I worked for the company for 15 years as a on-site IT consultant. When the company "history" started as Collegis it was a great environment. Lots of sharing of info from corporate, lots of communication and several onsite visits from the regional manager and corporate tier two support. I went to some sort of training at least once a year. The Sungard buyout brought all the support and cohesiveness across the distance to a complete halt. Now they owned several higher education applications and Collegis was software agnostic onsite support called "Managed services, not a good fit. But in the field the onsite consultants more than 75 % of the personnel and only %50 of the profits kinds of got forgot about. The distance actually reduced the number of visits and buffered us from the twist and turns of corporate, so much so that we stopped attending the "all-hands" conference calls they just wanted to tout the greatness of Banner and Banner online. The client site I worked at is not Banner. Sungard to Ellucian now it is my speculation that SunGuard found a way to offload "managed services" to Datatel (now Ellucian) again the miles and now merging of two software companies wasn't bad enough the managed services is now relatively reduced to nothing. I did not receive any formal tech training for YEARS. When I finally had the opportunity to stay with my site after the end of the contract I jumped at the opportunity and have now recieved more training and opportunities than all 15 years with Collegis, Sungard, DataTel, Ellucian.
