Anti Union & Micromanaging Leadership - Administration Columbia University Employee Review

Pros

Good union benefits; good work/life balance for union employees (officers vary depending on job demands & whether their manager respects boundaries); great colleagues; and lots of opportunities to learn new skills.

Cons

Leadership tends to stay for decades so there is not much opportunity for growth within; shift to running like a corporation; anti-union sentiment in leadership; toxic managers (micromanagement); pay (was solid before but they will not keep up with inflation, so many employees are living paycheck to paycheck); pay inequity for the same positions; low morale; leadership could use more diversity (trend of seeing white people promoted while BIPOC employees tend to leave for job advancement); sink or swim environment.
