Worst Place I Ever Worked

Pros

Free lunch, flexible hours, nice kids, pretty campus environs.

Cons

Extremely poor compensation (my salary at my next job was double what it was at PA) and virtually no opportunities for advancement. Poor leadership (pay is so poor that the school cannot attract good people). Huge technical debt. Out-of-date professional practices (annual reviews and interview processes, project and team management, etc.) Terrible department morale. A culture in which staff are treated very differently (and with much less consideration) than faculty. A feckless HR department. Performative rather than genuine emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

Pros

You get to live on campus so that eliminates costs. Pretty good food in commons, I guess.

Cons

The headline really says it all. The culture of working in a boarding student community can be welcoming and inclusive. You think you’re going to be supported by this little “town.” This might be true for the students (maybe) but definitely not for faculty. When you’re looking for opportunities, there is a systemic shut down. They also claim to be progressive but this place is the epitome of liberal white elitism. This “good enough” attitude toward DEIJ is perfect for liberals. Not for progressives because they will just bend to their trustees and to the big donor parents. Little support or understanding of students of color.
