Arizona State University reviews

Mostly cons: For staff, you'll work full time in the office with little-to-no control over your work or your time, even if you're a salaried manager. So, the soft benefits (control over your time during the day, etc.) that make up for the lack of honest compensation are not there to mitigate the pain of low wages. Plus, if you're not white and mediocre, there's just no interest in you. Arbitrary promotions of white mediocre employees over and instead of exceptional people of color with proven longer-standing employment histories are the norm. To sum up, if you're white and mediocre or white and exceptional, then ASU is the place for you. If you're anything else, try to find a place that's a bit more inclusive and kind to the rest of humanity.

Working this job completely wrecked my mental health. I was regularly working 50-60 hours a week. Offering critical feedback is not welcomed. You’ll be criticized for having a negative attitude and your opportunities will quickly start vanishing. If you’re gonna work at ASU, I hope you love sports! You will be forced to get students to football and basketball games by any means necessary. They don’t want to go, but leadership doesn’t care. If they’re not at games, you’re not doing your job. At ASU, the only constant is change. Your coworkers will leave. Your boss will leave. The director will leave. The turnover rate is so high that you’re constantly losing coworkers and retraining new ones with less work experience than the person that came before them. People are burnt out and miserable and no one cares. You’re expected to shut up and do your job with a smile even if it’s killing you. If a coworker leaves, you’re expected to do their work on top of yours. If you can’t get it all done between 9-5, you’re expected to stay until midnight if you have to. It’s just plain toxic.
