Pay Too Low

Recommend

Pros

Great benefits, such as pension, medical insurances and PTO. Awesome work/life balance, but this differs in different units of the University.

Cons

Pay is way too low for employees who are not executives, even for our area. This has been a complaint of lower level employees at the University for many years. They are implementing a compensation modernization plan now, but they still don't have things correct with that. The pay is still way too low, and people are leaving because their benefits are no longer worth staying for.
