Great professional experience; terrible pay

Faculty assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent PTO for part-time employees. Great work-life balance (at least in my department); you are not expected to work after you leave the office. Great sense of professional community.

Cons

Expect to do way more in your position than you should reasonably be expected to. Because of recent restructuring, employees wear way too many hats and do not get paid accordingly.

High Expectations, Challenging Pay

Associate professor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fuller provides a very meaningful place to work with access to brilliant colleagues and an exceptional student body. I am most often proud to say where I work.

Cons

Compensation is badly stagnated. Expertise and loyalty are taken for granted and not rewarded. Professional development is left to individual employees to pursue and fund since on-the-job training is limited to what is required for legal compliance. Recently, leadership has become more heavy-handed and dismissive of community concerns and critiques, meaning that the value of working here has reduced. When this must necessarily require coping with high costs of living, it is becoming decreasingly feasible to work here.
