Temple University reviews

Despite its many positives, Temple, like any university, is a large and slow bureaucracy, with all the associated drawbacks. Although co-workers are lovely, in many departments they have worked in the same position for decade, creating an atmosphere of apathy and sometimes even entitlement. Presidents Adamany and Hart have worked to create a more professional atmosphere, but it will be several years before taking full effect. Another issue is the lack of young professional development-- the work force trends older and therefore youth is sometimes distrusted and overlooked (ironic for a university). The university therefore loses young employees to private industry.

-Toxic Work Environment: Experienced unprofessional behavior that created a hostile atmosphere. -Derogatory Language: Witnessed instances of disrespectful communication from supervisors that undermined team morale. -Negative Impact on Well-being: The stressful environment affected mental and physical health, leading to the decision to resign. -High Quotas without Compensation: Travel expectations increased dramatically from approximately 70 trips per year to 200 in the Fall, with no corresponding increase in compensation. When inquiring about pay, the response was the "honor of legacy and participation in industry-leading work,' which is tone deaf and troubling to hear from a supervisor.
