Good, not great - Collaborator The Colburn School Employee Review

Excellent staff, administrators, dedicated students, stellar facilities.

Full time faculty not paid in a sustainable fashion.

Good pay, benefits, free parking, & concert tickets

I had high hopes for this one, but sadly there is a mean girl culture of obfuscation and rigid hierarchy that make it impossible to be yourself at this organization. Most employees are kept on a need to know basis that prevents a productive flow of information for the job to be done well. It has a lot of potential, but the culture overall is pretty tepid and lacking creativity. I was given very unclear expectations from day one and when I tried to self manage/excel at my job I received the cold shoulder from upper management. Outward perception is more important than internal cohesion at Colburn. Buoying the ego of leadership is more valued than being good at your job. After six months I was mentally checked out.
