Marshall University reviews

Sometimes communication breaks down between departments

All upper administration (Dean, Assistant Deans) are some of the most disorganized, poor planning, lack of foresight, haphazard employees you'll ever encounter. Everything is always done at the last minute; no trouble shooting or planning seems to go into any large scale decisions or initiatives administration decides to implement. Communication between departments is poor at best with terrible communication to students resulting in needless stress for all parties involved. Additionally, this being an "academic" work environment means there is a GREAT deal of emphasis on what letters come after your name. (Read-if you're not a "doctor" then you couldn't possibly know anything) Staff members are essentially treated as trained monkeys who are easily replaceable with anyone off the street (even though you are literally the backbone of an entire department and are in charge of all critical tasks and projects) and if you're not willing to get your Ph.D and become a professor, there is no growth for you here. Seriously, stay away.
