Toxic

Pros

Decent benefit package and the location is nice.

Cons

The work environment is highly competitive and often toxic. Leadership frequently disregards established policies and procedures. Management has been known to spread rumors, damage reputations, and retaliate against employees who seek opportunities elsewhere for their mental well-being. Instances of verbal aggression toward staff are tolerated. Leadership decisions, including hiring and relocating employees and their families, are sometimes made impulsively, with terminations occurring without warning or clear justification. Employees are often treated as expendable rather than valued individuals. Efforts to perform one's duties can be met with hostility, and coping mechanisms like emotional detachment are misunderstood or criticized.

Good values

Pros

Good values but difficult politics. All academia has this issue and FAU is the best I have see so far in this matter. The pay for professional and admin staff seems to be all over the place (low) leading to support staff turnover that makes everyone’s job so much harder in the end.

Cons

There’s a clear caste system between faculty and staff (even teaching staff) that is reflected in the underpaying of non-research employees.
