Culture has become toxic towards staff - Administrative Assistant Indiana University Employee Review

Pros

Water-bottle fillers at most drinking fountains.

Cons

The university has continued to add more and more upper-level faculty administration while reducing the number of staff and the remaining staff are supporting more and more faculty and students. There is open hostility towards staff and it truly feels like the university is trying to "quiet fire" experienced staff. Positions have been downgraded and starting pay has decreased exponentially over the last 4-5 years. There has been a tremendous loss of institutional knowledge with every experienced staff person who walks away and duties will be reassigned to remaining staff with no additional compensation. They are very slow to rehire, if at all. It's becoming quite toxic. Additionally, benefits are being chipped away at. Work more, and harder, for less pay and fewer benefits. Pay was never high to begin with but it is becoming disrespectful. You cannot expect "attention to detail" and "highly skilled" when you are only willing to pay bottom-dollar. Job descriptions rarely match actual duties assigned, but rates of pay are based on job descriptions, not actual duties assigned. This allows them to pay less while expecting and asking for more, while not acknowledging that is what they are doing.
