Not a good place to work - Assistant Director SMU (Southern Methodist University) Employee Review

Pros

The tuition benefits are great, but they are taxed which makes your take home pay much lower if you choose to use the benefits.

Cons

My boss was abusive and manipulative. I shared many examples of the way they treated my colleagues and me in my exit interview, and that person has been promoted since I left. Poor pay. Very, very old-fashioned and outdated management style. No room for growth.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
