Florida State University reviews

The events team is just a clique of mean girls and the president is not a great leader. She pretends she cares and is nice but really just has ridiculous expectations of her small staff and then will freak out or yell at people when they don’t perform to her standard. She talks about professional development but actively creates a stressful place that doesn’t make you want to stay and grow. There’s no true management or leadership but work led by fear.

The school continues to refuse to raise the grad student stipend (we get $24k, while many schools give $30-25k). I actually did the math, and I would make more money working only 40 hrs/week at most McDonalds. Additionally, school is refusing to give adequate raise in light of inflation (FSU is fighting the grad student union over a 1% raise when inflation is 6% - a raise of anything less than 6% is a paycut.) Tallahassee is not cheap to live in - rent has gone up significantly this year (Can't find a 1 bedroom apartment for less than $1000/month, and housing with roommates near the university is also expensive (avg $600-800/month)).
