Northwestern University reviews

The temp center was just all around confused and Northwestern's general HR seemed very confused at times as well. Misinformation was being sent out on how to set up NUIT logins and the people in charge didn't even realize it, I, the temp employee, had to tell them. The temp center was short two pages of information which caused much confusion for IT and the department on the first day of work, it made me look like a complete moron. Management also failed to respond to emails and had very confusing out of office replies, wrong dates and times for returns. The general HR area also had a difficult time answering very simple questions about applying for permanent employment while being a temp, three different responses to the same question via the telephone.

Most positions have no clear path forward and, even if they do, getting promoted internally (meaning, within your particular department) is rare and difficult. The pay is also far below the industry standard while the expectations for how much you're supposed to accomplish and your credentials for an open position are incredibly high.
