Horrible politics and nasty leadership don't make up for good benefits - Anonymous employee Merrimack College Employee Review

Pros

Really neat school to work at and excellent benefits including plenty of PTO, good health insurance, free lunch on campus, and tuition benefits.

Cons

The internal politics are awful. The higher you are in the "food chain", the more awful it is. If you get a job there, the benefits are terrific. HR, legal and the President's office WILL back up and protect leadership that lie or mess up if they are high performers. Lots of folks I know have been stepped on. It's too bad really because the school itself, the faculty, and the students are great. And they dragging their feet on hybrid despite the trends which is causing them to lose staff. But they will negotiate hybrid or even allow fully remote to hire or retain staff without extending it to other staff. So short sighted. The administrative staff should unionize to ensure protections from seriously shady management.
