Pros

Personal time off (vacation and sick) Retirement Swag Work/life balance Great staff

Cons

Management has turned against staff during covid. No longer willing to listen to staff needs/desires. Foundation is hemorrhaging staff, but management is blind. Foundation had a great year, working from home, but it goes against upper management wishes, and now we all pay the price. Used to be a great place to work, but now avoid at all costs. Stack ranking performance, everyone for themselves. Has become less and less transparent over the years. Management actively downgrades staff so they can get better raises. Diversity and other woke themes are taking on a greater and greater role, instead of serving our higher purpose, fund raising for KSU.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
