This field is not large enough. Departments seem to run independent of each other which seems to adversely impact communication. Team work is foreign concept, but 'I', how well I sell myself and my connections are important. All about connections and who you know there. No real HR and things like typical onboarding or hiring notifications are non existent. The self governing departments seem to enforce their own adopted rules and policies. They also show favoritism, sexist behavior was also common in my department. The sad thing is that despite a few good Christ centered individuals, the talk is false. When it comes to human beings and employees they do not practice what they preach. Saw many disturbing things there including someone not qualified to teach online classes (failed to complete degree) get hired because of friendship with someone making decision. Coworkers can do some terrible things as far as speaking badly behind each other's backs and making things uncomfortable for coworkers. There are so many issues that you don't see in a regular secular environment that you see here and it's such a shame that LU is not able to create a workplace that centers around things like respect, honesty and working with (not against) coworkers.
