Pros

After reading the Cons, the only positive about working at LIU is that everyone around you is in the same boat, so we look out for each other.

Cons

LIU offers very little when it comes to upward career mobility. Upper management punishes good ideas and ambition. The innumerable small indignities that we deal with on a day-by-day basis are made even harder to swallow knowing that our annual raise has been next to nothing for over a decade. Unless you're in upper management or a tenured professor, this is not a good place to work.

Horrific Institution Profiting Off The Backs of Students

Pros

Entry and mid-level staff were dedicated and hard-working. Students were interested in getting what they paid for. Some faculty were dedicated to teaching.

Cons

Senior leadership was absent and there was no communication. Staff cuts and attrition lead to overworked and underpaid staff. Under performing employees were shuffled from department to department and even after coaching eventually couldn't be moved elsewhere. Faculty were often at odds with one another and hardly present. Disdain between the president, Kimberly Cline, and the faculty remained even 2 years after faculty were locked out. Multiple, immediate demands placed on staff requiring them to work long hours, not be compensated, only for the program to go nowhere and for staff not to be recognized. HR is non-existent and when they can be contacted less than helpful. Turn-over of staff and school leadership is rapid. Faculty are often not granted tenure with no rationale given leading to a contentious environment. Student were lied to consistently which led to their disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Pros

Most people take pride in thier work and do their best. The average worker supports each other. Good vacation and holiday time.

Cons

Toxic culture instilled by a grossly incompetent president and upper managment who run the place like a private equity takeover. Cline is trying to wring out all the profit while sticking it to students and employees, but to what end? Haven't had a decent salary increase in years.
