Lots of missed potential - Associate Director Temple University Employee Review

Pros

Very autonomous work environment with opportunities to get involved in many different aspects of the university. Excellent benefits package with generous time off for non-union employees.

Cons

Union positions limit employees significantly. Compensation remains pretty flat once on board. Compensation in general is low. Leadership at the Business School is dysfunctional and leads to extremely high turnover. Strategy is set with little to no thought and by handshakes made with leadership's cronies. It's very fly by the seat of your pants-- front-line administrators then have to clean up the mess of a poorly thought out plan.

Pros

Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located campus. Great food trucks! Lots of space to go for a walk and clear your head or sit on a bench and look at some trees. Nice benefits.

Cons

Temple is very large and very siloed, so if you work in one department, don't expect to be able to move more easily to another part of the school than you would if you were just a random unknown applicant. Once you start working it will be clear which people there genuinely care about the school and passionately work to make it better, and which once just clock in and clock out and won't do a single thing that's not listed in their official job description. But that's bureaucracy for you!
