Business Outlook
Pros
The benefits-medical and tuition- at SMU are great and being able to get a degree tuition-free is a big part of its greatness. As an hourly employee, you work 37.5 but there are opportunities to work longer depending on the area you work in. If you live in a dual income household, this is a great job for you.
Cons
Long tenure equals management status without proven ability to manage a team; human resources are spotty in replying to important questions, nepotism/cronyism is rampant and favoritism is transparent; pay is terrible for what is expected of individuals; extremely political; inter departmental communication is horrible; merit increases cut in half to 1.5% this year, while president received a 16% raise;
