New School Mafia 2014-2020

Pros

Great staff and personnel. But their voices need to be heard by the Senior Administration.

Cons

Back in 2014-2020, you can only advance in Oxy if you are with the New School mafia. The previous president from the New School hired his own set of people from the New School, and literally made their own little empire at Oxy. So many staff left Oxy because of this. They lost their voices at Oxy. Now that that New School president left in 2020, I am hoping things will be better at Oxy, though there are still 3 people at the top with very very fat salaries running the school. Hopefully the new President from Stanford has his eyes wide open.

Pros

My work environment was wonderful! I had awesome and caring coworkers in addition to the higher ups. Being a small school, there were tons of opportunities to make a difference/improve the system; I wasn't just a cog in the wheel.

Cons

While not applicable to me, I heard that the salary levels at Oxy are typically lower than other similar schools.
