Temple University Reviews

Pay is below-scale for technical people. Vision plan is sub-standard. Promotions and training are only for those who are "in the clique". Heavy duty nepotism is the norm and is referred to as "the Temple Way". Clique members tend to harass outsiders with assignment overloads, ostracism, and snide remarks. Team work is defined as 2 cliquers are "in charge", 1 clique-outsider does all the actual work.

In the Fox School of Business there is way too much bureaucracy, very little camaraderie between departments and programs, and how something looks is often more important than how it functions. The top administrators in the college seemed very egotistical and not supportive of the rest of the university. My supervisors were not trained in the area of expertise that I was hired for, were very unsupportive of new ideas and industry standard practices, were very unprofessional in how they dealt with situations that didn't align with the plan in their heads that they didn't bother to share, and very poor at communicating clear goals and expectations. As a whole, very behind in flexible work schedule options as in there are none.
