Great benefits and job security, but below-market pay and frustrating parking - PhD Graduate Student University of Rochester Employee Review

Pros

Excellent benefits package, particularly the tuition reimbursement and the strong retirement match. The university offers great job security, a beautiful campus environment, and the opportunity to work with intelligent, supportive colleagues in a prestigious research and medical setting.

Cons

Base salaries are lower than the industry market rate, and annual merit raises are often minimal. The bureaucratic nature of such a large institution can slow career advancement, and paying out of pocket for remote employee parking that requires a shuttle commute is very inconvenient.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule and supportive direct supervisor

Cons

You name it, they've got it. Just decimated their benefits. Overlook staff. Use "internal equity" as an excuse to underpay. Problem with job suppression.
