Penn State reviews

Work can be hard if you don't know the material. Sometimes professors want unexpected stuff, with no warning.

Bad management can tend to thrive in this environment because the University is very willing to work with someone or reassign them rather than firing someone. In one unit where I worked, a manager with a lot of complaints was reassigned and then after a few years, reinstated back to management where the same problems arose. Luckily, once you have a job with the University, it is easy to transfer out of a unit with bad management to another with better management.
