Raises are always a "problem" - Anonymous employee Augusta University Employee Review

Raises were very lackluster. I worked in IT for many years there and many years without a raise. Before I left, I went 3 years without a single raise. If anyone said my name there, it would be recognized by colleagues and they would DEFINITELY be surprised to hear that I didn't have a raise. The only way I could get a raise was through promotions, and that meant someone had to leave for it to be available. For my time there, I was promoted into roles 5 times. My next promotion opportunity kept getting pushed back and then ultimately merged with another role to someone who didn't want it and then even they stepped down out of the role.
