Great People, terrible work environment

Director of operations

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of room to grow in your career and people are kind and caring.

Cons

The staff is second class to the organization, faculty are given all of the attention, benefits, and care. HR has no form of training for managers or teams or any type of company culture. If someone is laid off, you are expected to take on their work with no further compensation. There is a clear pay gap between gender and race.

Director

Recommend

You don’t need to work hard to be promoted. Just be decent and stick around - you get promoted as smart people leave the institution.

Senior Leadership... keep making bad decisions over and over - for YEARS!

Institutionalized Racism and Sexism

Office of advancement

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Beautiful campus, excellent location. Pasadena is stunning

Cons

I experienced institutionalized racism and sexism when I was there. It was an extremely hostile work environment for me. I was heavily scrutinized, treated differently, spoken to differently, passed over for jobs that I was more than qualified for that my white counterparts with a lot less experience than me were given. It was a toxic work environment with gossip, back-biting and strife. The institution needs a complete overhaul. Because the organization is so disorganized, people are often sitting at their desks with nothing to do and it's dehumanizing. Working there is not recommended.
