Michigan State University reviews

Because the institution is primarily funded by the federal government, so are your pay checks. Which means if the economy is bad, as it is in Michigan, you cant expect to see that much growth in your income. Academic staff went a full calendar year without a raise, and the next year raises were 1/2 of the cost of living increase decided by the state (1.5%). Beyond that it comes down to the college you work for, so if they have less money in their budget, you are equally effected. I work for a broke college so, my raise was unmentionable.

- Little professional support, - no salary rise for 3 years - Need to pay for everything at MSU (printing, parking, books request) - MSU uses more contractors for the cost of research lab - in my orevuous work all was covered by Univeristy (certifications, tests, core labs) here need rto pay for all. - Bad library collections - Too big univeristy need car but parking is limited and expensive - people are rude at Michigan
