Michigan State University reviews

low salary, too many folks that aren't motivated to do their job. Unions that protect the workers that aren't doing well while holding back strong performers.

Many positions are union-based. There are several unions on campus and none seem to benefit the majority of its members. A good working employee could do better on their own. Also, not all units pay its employees the same as other units for positions that are similar. This is definitely a discrepancy that the university needs to address. Career advancement is possible but rarely happens overnight. Too often the university will hire from the outside before promoting from within:(
