Pros

-Purposeful Work: Contributed to a mission-driven organization focused on student success. -Inspiring Impact: Engaged with prospective students and made a meaningful impact on their futures. -Positive Connections: Built valuable relationships with colleagues and stakeholders during the first year. ***Please note this review is strictly for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. This does NOT reflect Temple as a whole. Temple is a great place, but offices are only as strong and healthy as their leaders.

Cons

-Toxic Work Environment: Experienced unprofessional behavior that created a hostile atmosphere. -Derogatory Language: Witnessed instances of disrespectful communication from supervisors that undermined team morale. -Negative Impact on Well-being: The stressful environment affected mental and physical health, leading to the decision to resign. -High Quotas without Compensation: Travel expectations increased dramatically from approximately 70 trips per year to 200 in the Fall, with no corresponding increase in compensation. When inquiring about pay, the response was the "honor of legacy and participation in industry-leading work,' which is tone deaf and troubling to hear from a supervisor.

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!
