Ok place to work - Associate Staff UMBC Employee Review

It is State government, so there is a lot of bureaucracy. Like most higher education places, the politics of faculty vs staff are exhausting. I think there are lots of bad decisions made with staffing, some core services experience too much turnover (like the Registrar). I think that salaries are ok and you should be alright IF you get along with your department, but this is something the University has struggled for years with. Tenure process is ridiculously easy (embarrassing for an honors university), Everyone gets it unless you are just a terrible candidate.
