Declining Quality For Staff and Students

Pros

Benefits are great. The only reason I am still here is they pay for my sons tuition.

Cons

Main Campus has centralized 90% of my work which tells me I wont have a job for much longer. Classroom classes (which my students demand) are being replaced with online and virtual classes. They keep touting how great we are doing, yet the numbers tell a different story.

Pros

- I suppose benefits were okay

Cons

I do not even know where to begin. - Parking on campus is an absolute nightmare. - There is absolutely no accountability for workers. - Directors literally cried about their workload and whined till they were allowed to pass the job onto someone else or hire an admin. Why hire these people as Directors? They clearly are incapable of completing their responsibilities. - A staff employee will get nominated for a "Service Excellence" award, but they shouldn't. They do not know their responsibilities and basically cry through the management chain till someone just says "Okay, we'll handle it for you". - Atmosphere is toxic and so is the culture. Signs of a toxic job: 1) You're constantly overworked, underpaid and your well-being is taking a major hit 2) High rate of employee turnover (huge issue here) 3)Tolerates any type discrimination 4) Majority of employees are burnt out or have extremely low morale 5) Workplace with passive aggressive communication as its primary communication (because no one wants to do their jobs properly) - Do not apply. Nothing makes it worth working there and being treated unprofessionally. And I mean everyone. Department Chairs, Deans, Faculty and Staff.....

Pros

Decent learning opportunities. Staff holiday dinners were always nice.

Cons

People don’t leave jobs, they leave managers. That statement has never rang truer than when I worked at ERAU’s Advanced Flight Simulation Center. The manager makes the work environment so toxic it’s unbelievable. Extreme micromanaging, racist comments, sexist remarks, gaslighting of employees, and constant abuse of power are just the beginning of what the technicians and engineers have to deal with. He does not respect his employees and in return, no one respects him, but everyone has bills to pay so no one leaves. When I attempted to go to HR regarding his egregious behavior and “leadership” tactics, I was told that he has been the manager of the center for 30 years and that he was essentially a part of the “good ole boys” club since he had been hired at the same time as other senior flight department personnel.
