University life is laid back, but pay is poor and lots of red tape - Accountant SMU (Southern Methodist University) Employee Review

Great colleagues to work with!

No flexible work arrangements. And pay can always be higher.

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
