Concordia University Texas Reviews

Pros

Fellow professors and most of the students make me stay. Lovely campus nestled in the hill country.

Cons

Faculty are overworked, underpaid and constant reorganizations. Faculty are not respected unless part of the favored few. Lack of shared governance structure, frequent firings, and the smart ones are pushed out or just leave.

Pros

Small institution with great student leaders, everyone knows you Male and female leadership Generous benefits and time off

Cons

High expectations without compensation Overworked and underpaid employees without confident job security No opportunities for advancement, frequent reorganizations and restructuring, limited resources, under-qualified staff from hiring young graduates who buy in to their vision without considering the toxicity of their leadership

Pros

Being a graduate assistant allowed me to develop so many skills I would need before I began full-time work.

Cons

Salary is very little for being a graduate assistant, but at least tuition is waived.

Cons

Chaotic work environment with frequent reorganizations and lack of strategic vision Low pay Management does not value employees and does not incentivize them to stay at Concordia

Pros

Some staff work tirelessly under very low wages, because they are devoted to the idea of a 'premier university', so there are some nice folks there.

Cons

Its published Core Values don't reflect the reality, one of which is 'Caring for People'. Undervalued, low pay, with frequent 'reorganizations' that mask underlying age and race discrimination and lack of institutional direction. There is an obvious disconnect between the student experience and what staff deal with on a day-to-day basis – routine reorganizations that result in shifting responsibilities, fear of yet another reorg. Near poverty level wages for professional staff while charging students unbelievable tuition rates, leaves one wondering why wages can’t be higher. Upper-level management prefer to promote low-paid, inexperienced staff who will follow their every lead. If you’re naive and enjoy a cult mentality, it’s the place for you. If you’re an experienced professional that tries to fix what’s broken, don’t waste your time.

Pros

Faculty and staff are very friendly

Cons

Honestly, I dont know, its such a great place!

Pros

Warm work environment, inclusive, supportive of faculty
