      Executive Leadership Center at the School of Management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Overall, the University is a great place to work. Nice people, great benefits, down to earth, etc.

      Cons

      Do not enter a job with the Executive Leadership Center at SMG The department is run incredibly poorly and every staff member there is treated like dirt due to the terrible, terrible leadership. Everyone at the School, and a large part of the University, know about the issues this department faces but no one will do anything about it. In addition to many other factors, there is constant turnover in the department but apparently that is not enough of a sign that something must be done with the leadership.
