Pros

Some nice coworkers and staff.

Cons

The university president talks about Diversity, Inclusion and Equity but that doesn't seem to extend to everyone since there is NO SALARY EQUITY. The salaries are public. The president and his cabinet make 1M and 700K or over but managers with many years of service, who are forced to work 60-70 hours/week, are making $90K and looking at a maximum 2% raise/year. Compensation is very poor relative to the amount of work that is required. Not good for career because there is no exposure to the most current software. There is also very limited advancement opportunities but when they do happen, the university has it set up that the maximum salary increase you can receive is 15%. Health benefits, which used to be affordable, are now very expensive and are no longer an enticement to work there.

Pros

Great support and pay for adjuncts. It’s a bit above 8k per online course spread out biweekly. Small online class sizes. Little to no burden for adjuncts for adjusting syllabus or course logistics. Just grading and student support.

Cons

Very little! I’ve had a wonderful experience and enjoy working here.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
