Berklee Reviews

- Senior administration, especially among the President/VP/Dean level is incredibly out of touch with students and lower level administrative employees; their decisions seem purely financially motivated - Benefits are extremely poor in comparison to Boston's many other colleges, especially when it comes to transportation subsidies, tuition reimbursement, and health care benefits (eye care coverage is practically non-existent) - Extensive turnover and incredibly low morale campus-wide due to upper level management's incompetence and unwillingness to listen - The college is focused more on meeting industry numbers and percentages rather than educating their students and ensuring their success after graduation (for those who even graduate - almost 50% of students here drop out before they get there) - Abhorrently low compensation

Upper management extremely bloated and disconnected from the work and culture of the organization. There are WAY too many VP's all jockeying to create work for themselves and in the process, disrupting middle managers' jobs and working diligently to make life as difficult as possible for employees in general. For this reason there is high turnover among middle managers (chairs) and much great talent and years of knowledge and experience are lost. There is only lip service paid to faculty or workforce development.
