Mixed bag - Administrative Associate Stanford University Employee Review

Pros

Being on campus and having access to all that goes on there in the class room, at the various schools and within the community. Being surrounded by people who whole-heartedly believe that what they are doing is important..

Cons

Arrogance of some senior staff and faculty. Lack of support and mentoring for support staff. The assumption that just having a Stanford job is enough to compensate for a smaller salary. The amazing tolerance for inefficient people as well as systems and processes. It can take 14 working days to get an approved PO faxed to the vendor.
