Pros

Some nice coworkers and staff.

Cons

The university president talks about Diversity, Inclusion and Equity but that doesn't seem to extend to everyone since there is NO SALARY EQUITY. The salaries are public. The president and his cabinet make 1M and 700K or over but managers with many years of service, who are forced to work 60-70 hours/week, are making $90K and looking at a maximum 2% raise/year. Compensation is very poor relative to the amount of work that is required. Not good for career because there is no exposure to the most current software. There is also very limited advancement opportunities but when they do happen, the university has it set up that the maximum salary increase you can receive is 15%. Health benefits, which used to be affordable, are now very expensive and are no longer an enticement to work there.

Good Organization, But Underresourced and Staff is Overworked

Pros

Location Personal Time Off Benefits Purchased laptops to allow staff to telecommute Students are really driven

Cons

The campus is clearly under-resourced, especially when compared to the sister flagship university. The infrastructure throughout the university is in need of an upgrade. Staff is working tirelessly and the emphasis on personal care/mental health is for theatre and not a true value. Proceeding business as usual during a global pandemic. The only major change is a telecommuting option for those who are able. Little room for advancement. Learning is on your own via LinkedIn.
