Purdue University

Is this your company?

What a nightmare. - HR Generalist Purdue University Employee Review

Pros

Purdue has decent retirement if you stick around long enough to be vested. But that's a big ask.

Cons

So many things. Pay, for starters. Upper administration is completely blind to what's actually happening on campus. Management is incompetent across the board. Promotions are not for the competent or high-ability. They're reserved for the smooth talkers that ride on the coattails of other peoples' work. Changes take forever to get implemented because they have to be scrutinized at multiple levels before they're approved. Even the most fundamental changes that can happen in the "real world" in a matter of days take months or years to implement. No exaggeration. I could go on and on.

Pros

The benefits are fine, but not amazing. There are lots of nice aspects to working on campus. I like the library access.

Cons

Pay is not that great and there is the weird effect of state politics on operations.
