Hard to find a place that cares less about its employees than Springfield College - Anonymous employee Springfield College Employee Review

- Mission of the college (giving back to others) is touted, but not put into practice - Little room for growth or professional development - "Merit-based" raises do not exist. Employees are given an annual 2% "cost of living" wage. However, upper management sees raises of more than 2% each year. Some also receive bonuses and are reimbursed for things such as their cars and cell phones. - Wages are not competitive at all, despite every single member of upper management or "PLT" (yes, they gave themselves a nickname) making more than six figures. It is well-known that SC does not pay well, especially for those early in their career, and they are currently undergoing a “compensation study”—the first in 20 years—because the situation is so dire. Most employees make less than $50,000. Many SC job searches come back as “failed” because the compensation is too low. - Often suffers from budget mismanagement - Good work often goes unacknowledged or rewarded - Managers are not well-trained but often get promoted/receive raises - Suffers from massive administrative bloat
