Lamar University - Director Lamar University Employee Review

Pros

Generally relaxed atmosphere and administration allows you to pursue degree for free (5 courses / year).

Cons

Current structure limits the ability of people to be fairly compensated for the duties they carry out. If you report through the same channel as HR, you typically get whatever you want. HR department is chaotic and they struggle to retain HR specialist, results in a lack of consistency in application of rules and the policies/procedures seem to change every 6-months because of a lack of leadership in HR. Gaps in the leadership. Not all VP's understand their job and as a result poorly execute their duties.

Pros

Friendly, supportive environment — it's a very friendly work environment with helpful faculty members, and many reviewers mention a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

Low stipend/pay — the stipend is relatively low compared to similar positions at other universities, and it's described as needing greater stability.
