colleagues are great...admin is not

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

work with an amazing group of colleagues who are supportive and the campus is beautiful.

Cons

EVERYTHING is micromanaged by admin, who claim to be "transparent" but are anything but. Instead of raises, faculty and staff get "swag" that is repeated over-and-over each year (e.g., chairs, blankets, coolers). Constantly being told we don't do enough, we don't care enough, and to "do better." It's demoralizing.

Don't care about staff

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

working with a handful of good people

Cons

higher ups do not care about faculty or staff. They try and make it seem like they do a lot by giving staff a small bonus and some cheap gifts but doesn't make it worth the 60+ hour weeks and awful pay to deal with the entitled students, parents, and staff. All they care about is the money
