Happy hours and free lunches are promoted instead of employees
Pros
- great coworkers; everyone is lovely to work with and passionate about the higher education industry - lots of opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration - PTO and other benefits are excellent
Cons
- at the start of 2024, EAB announced it was now matching $0.50 for every dollar contributed up to 4% into employee 401Ks. Prior to 2024, EAB was matching dollar for dollar up to 7%. Slashing employees' hard-earned retirement savings is absolutely cruel... LET THAT SINK IN, PEOPLE! - Oh, and not to mention there is ZERO flexibility in negotiating your salary. After 3 years of employment I still had no promotion or raise. I asked about the possibility of renegotiating my salary simply to meet the rise of inflation and was told verbatim "if you want more money, go find another job." - managers claim to be "approachable" but often fail to advocate for their direct reports which results in lack of promotional opportunities. - there is a clear culture of favoritism in this company. Only those who "know the right people" have any shot at moving up and getting raises. Many newer employees are regarded as outsiders
