Lakewood University has been named as one of the top 100 Best Places to Work in the country by Fortune.
To determine the 2022 Best Small Workplaces list and the 2022 Best Medium Workplaces list, Great Place to Work® analyzed confidential survey feedback representing more than 189,000 employees working in small- and medium-sized businesses in the United States.
Employees responded to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organization creates a Great Place to Work For All™. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place to Work analyzes these experiences relative to each organization’s size, workforce makes up, and what’s typical relative to their peers in the industry.
The remaining 15 percent of the rank is based on an assessment of all employees’ daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure they’re consistently experienced.

We get asked all the time what it’s like to work at Lakewood University. Here’s what we tell people…
First and foremost, Lakewood University is a collection of incredible individuals – we’re a team. We’re an “all hands on deck,” all tug on the same side of the rope, everyone’s responsible for creating a successful nonprofit University that is student-centered and a Certified Best Place to Work™ as well as a top 100 Best Places to Work™… kind of place. We work industriously and efficiently, but also keep it really real. And fun.
But don’t let our chill tone and effortless cool fool you – working here is no walk in the park! We only hire people who take pride in a job well done. We only hire people who aren’t afraid of a little mental (or physical) elbow grease.
The long and short of it: If you produce, you’ll be recognized for it. If you slack, you won’t stick around long.
Lakewood University is the kind of place where you get your foot in the door wherever it can fit and plan to move up. Because you CAN move up. We designed it that way.
