Indiana University reviews

My experience did not consist of many of the potential benifits. I had 8 supervisors in 4 1/2 years (one did last for a full year). I was denied approval to take advantage of the college course benefit as none fit with my job description. My assigned union rep. was an epic fail. Massive work loads. When employees leave they were not replaced - remaining employees needed to absorb the added work load, leaving many to do the work of 3 to 4 people. As with anywhere, the management makes or breaks one's experience in the work place. The enviroment in my department was very dysfunctional, clickish and broken. Less and less are positions being promoted. When an employee leaves and the job is reposted, it often is reclassified below the previous standing. The same positions across the university can have wildly ranging classifications and salary varience. A position in one building that has the same job description and requires all the same skills can range from a low level low hourly wage support staff D level to a high classified, high salary professional level 3.

Salaries are LOW... about half of what other Big Ten schools pay for the exact same job. As a result, everyone who works at IU is a local of Bloomington, and there is rampant nepotism in getting jobs. It's one of the whitest places I've ever worked as a result, very little diversity in the staff, and those who do come from places other than Bloomington do not stay.
