Very conservative culture, if this doesn’t bother you then great community

Pros

The people who work at Samford are some of the nicest and genuine people I’ve ever met. There is a real sense of community. I felt work life balance was appreciated (by some) albeit with push back from the administration.

Cons

Very conservative culture, as to be expected. I felt very uncomfortable with some of the values held and displayed. Very top down, hierarchical leadership with little communication which is frustrating. If you require a culture of agility to perform well at your job you will not do well here.
