Hopelessly Disorganized - Director Tennessee Tech University Employee Review

Pros

Job performance is not evaluated so there's no pressure to perform at any level which can make for a stress-free job so long as you don't rock the boat or care about making a difference.

Cons

Salaries are poor outside of upper administration jobs. Very few people in leadership positions have any leadership skills and as a result there's a systemic lack of direction, lack of motivation, lack of organization, lack of communication, and lack of good sense (not to mention the gross waste of taxpayer money). Low to mid-level employees are rarely supported and often treated poorly. A lot of people in key roles, particularly in the ITS department but in other departments as well, are shockingly bad at their jobs but are allowed to keep them because they're well-connected and administrators lack the courage and integrity to fire them. There are many friendly people that work here but the "inner circle" is clique-ish and in many cases not welcoming or supportive of outsiders. If you live and are known in the area, or ingratiate yourself with those who do and are, then you can rest assured you will never be fired no matter how poorly you perform so long as you don't rock the boat.

Pros

Paid on time and correctly, pretty clean working conditions

Cons

The experience entirely depends on who your boss is. Some people I absolutely loved working for, others not so much. HR is also severely lacking.
