Pay is mediocre Free tuition for a number of classes Opportunities to go to conventions on their dime

Minpunten

They never gave me my benefits but sure did bill me twice a month for them. Pay is mediocre for the amount of work they will require HR is your enemy big time at Temple If you are stuck with a bad supervisor or work environment and raise it to the attention of leadership or HR, they will do whatever they can to terminate you instead of making the workplace healthy. If you want to transfer departments, they require one year in a position you might be unhappy in. Leadership is very wishy washy. They will take advantage of you. Politics in the workplace is HUGE here. They will immediately cut you out of things and try to make your day to day work life absolutely horrible if they suspect you aren't aligned their way. Leadership all on dating apps and with age ranges of young college students and reach out to students while living on campus. No training. Literally just sent me to work and harshly productivity reports. It is their word against yours, always. They never cared about any of us. You are replaceable and they make you feel it. They operate on a large corporation model so literally anything you have to get done in your position, be prepared to jump through several hoops to get it done and then when it doesn't get done soon enough be prepared to be disciplined for it. They will manipulate the slightest communication issue as something worth firing you over. If you end up terminated, they will fight you in court to take your unemployment away. If you end up laid off, they will also fight you to take your unemployment away. They are constantly cutting positions because they are broke, so don't get too comfortable. Leadership changes a lot because people come onboard to pad their resume and take off in a year or three and leave the team hanging.

Pluspunten

Hybrid work schedule. Some of my coworkers were great people.

Minpunten

While higher education can be incredibly bureaucratic, Temple takes the cake. It was the most rigid, stifling environment I have ever worked in. Very top heavy, with a top-down management style akin to a poorly run corporate business instead of an educational institution; maybe this is part of why they are in financial straits. I also encountered my fair share of micromanagement and very poor leadership skills from managers at all levels. It was truly astonishing the lack of accountability, leadership, and communication from those that were supposed to be managing others. The pay is not competitive for a large, public university; it's more on par with a small liberal arts college. For example most salaries for Assistant Directors with years of experience were being advertised at 50k-60k. Criminal. And forget about promotions! Unless you have connections, or you're a kiss up to management, you're not going anywhere. Further, I think I can speak for most when I say that the emails that went out bragging about our acquiring a new building downtown is incredibly tone deaf when you're also sending emails warning of staff and programming cuts due to the budget. I understand that there are different budgeting lines, but it's tone deaf especially in this economy.
