Toxic work culture, micromanaging administration, NO HR SUPPORT - Systems Administrator Wellesley College Employee Review

Technology Services department is totally dysfunctional. Upper administration micromanages everybody's projects, CIO has no respect for people's time and is consistently late to meetings, but then basically negates everybody's ideas and overrides any other unit's decisions. The entire college is struggling, but they don't let the public see that part. All the public sees is the $2 billion endowment, but guess what? That money can't be touched for operations or day-to-day expenses, so buildings are literally falling apart, technology is out-of-date and failing, and morale is LOW. Also, the pay at Wellesley is far less than other higher education institutions in Greater Boston. I've since moved on to greener pastures and am better paid and much happier. If you desire autonomy, a sense of purpose, and good, respectful management, look elsewhere. You won't find it at Wellesley!
