Great benefits, too many politics

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great benefits, great people to work with. The hours aren't anything too terrible, but that depends more on what department you work in.

Cons

Way too many politics. Typical customer service - the customer is always right. Just accept you will be to blame. No support from upper management.

Great Work to Life Balance and Benefits

Anonymous employee

Pros

Ivy Tech has an awesome work to life balance. With generous amounts of paid time off, nice 401k contribution and educational opportunities for full time employees. The team I work for and with are great.

Cons

Pay is below average unless you are in the top management, raises aren't based on merit for the majority of staff. There doesn't seem to be a lot of room for advancement, the college is going through some restructuring challenges. Change only comes from the "top" down.
