Get promises in writing! Limited opps for growth

Program coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Beautiful work environment, flexible schedule, generous sick time policy. Vibrant campus with lots of interesting cultural activities. Generous college tuition benefit for your children.

Cons

I was promised raises, benefits, and growth opportunities that never materialized. This is a common complaint among co-workers. There is also limited opportunity for growth. College administration has a history of telling workers that if they want more opportunities or better pay, they will have to go elsewhere.
