Diverse responsibilities and never boring.

WGU is a company you can be proud to work for. They are very employee and student focused, always making the right choice and going to best direction for everyone. Change is popular here and everyone helps to achieve it. We are constantly in pursuit of continued excellence.
Great Place to Work.
Project Manager, Operations in Salt Lake City:
Pros: I enjoy the people I work with and I identify with the university's mission to expand access to education. Managing projects can be challenging and you have to have the type of personality that can roll with a lot of changes.
Cons: I started her 7 years ago and have found that upward job progression is slower and more difficult if have been with the company for a long time verses coming in as a new employee from the outside with the same level of experience and qualifications.
Great place to work overall!
Corporate Recruiter in Salt Lake City:
Pros: Flexibility, exciting work, always moving, what I do matters
Cons: Some salary and benefits. We are moving so fast, but is it too fast too quickly. Many feel overworked trying to keep up with the business as a whole.
Disrupting Higher Education.
