Unfulfilled promise - Faculty Purdue University Employee Review

Pros

There are many good people working at PUC: they're smart, upbeat, and enthusiastic, with lots of energy. Many students are first-generation college students and are people trying to change the trajectory of their and their families' lives. Because of this, there's tremendous opportunity to help people and to make a difference in their lives.

Cons

Unfortunately, the school suffers from severe morale problems. There have been massive cutbacks and cutting of resources, to the point that they have all but stopped doing basic things like collecting garbage from offices and classrooms. Many teaching positions have been axed (as well, many people have fled to other institutions or taken early retirement) as management and administration continues to balloon in size. Expectations, evaluation, and promotion decisions are massively uneven and have little to do with merit.

Pros

Great benefits and job security. Large organization with plenty of opportunity for lateral moves, try new jobs, and get promoted.

Cons

Perhaps too much emphasis and love for the invention of AI.
