Great colleagues but administration neglects faculty and staff

Associate professor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing colleagues across all schools

Cons

administration cares ZERO PERCENT for faculty and staff, as well as students, once they get them on campus as freshman. Pay is ridiculously low and we can’t hire new people because of it.

poor culture and management-overall very culty and odd

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice campus, good food, and fine dining twice a year. Majority of the students are sweet.

Cons

Underpaid, bad benefits, weird/culty culture, terrible management who are under prepared for the job and at times abusive, students at times can down right insult you or the city of high point. The all staff meetings are HORRIBLE. It's nido insulting schools across the nation, bragging about being on pain meds while at work and not taking time off when he's injured, and just saying things that aren't true. I can guarantee you Stanford and Harvard do not call him asking for help with how to manage their institutions.
