Everyone stays for the benefits - Communication Coordinator MIT Employee Review

Little room for growth. People are promoted for longevity, not skill. Their means of rewarding staff are to appoint them supervisors and assign them 1 employee. So many people here oversee 1 person and aren't prepared to lead, supervise, etc. HR-run classes are offered, but not required. It's an issue of people repeatedly being promoted to jobs they are not necessarily qualified for because they have been at the school for 5, 10, 15 years. The workplace suffers as a result.
