Think golden handcuffs - Assistant Professor Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Employee Review

The non-monetary benefits (insurance, amenities, professional development, schedule flexibility, etc.) are sometimes the only reason to stay. The salary alone is not sufficient to support an individual, let alone a family. Most employees work multiple jobs if they don't have other retirement or pensions coming in, and the University Administration will not acknowledge that fact. The AZ campus is entirely micromanaged and run from the FL campus, often without consultation or consideration. Facilities are old and cramped. There is a clear bias in resources distributed toward the FL campus versus the AZ campus. Just Google pictures and compare the two, and you'll see the difference in quality. Better yet, if you can tour both campuses, you'll see it firsthand. There are not enough classrooms and dorms for students, offices for faculty, or space in general from neglect and poor planning. Upper-management has a "shut up and color" mentality, and dismiss any collaboration or discussions for improvement. The President, Provost, Board of Trustees are all located in Florida, and the President only comes the the AZ campus for graduation and maybe a couple meetings a year. Extremely unclear expectations for tenure and promotion are causing severe morale issues that are driving faculty out. Very poor communication from leadership leads to an almost unlimited supply of bad decisions. This company entirely relies on their reputation to carry them through everything.
