Pros

Freedom to create courses; autonomy in work; students are nice; campus is large and other professors are willing to work collaboratively; tech problems were attended to promptly

Cons

Facilities are old and not well kept up nor ADA compliant; offices were shared and had no windows; no food facilities in many older buildings; administration does not value the arts as much as the sciences ( where grants are available); tech options were limited; insane limit on paper and ink; collegiality is encouraged but not practiced; just not enough money used for teaching but plenty for administrators; some seem not to care about the employees as much as the students; none even say thank you for your hard work

Pros

Great culture at RIT. Working with students is great. Lots of University spirit. Majority of people are very nice to work with. Lots of professional development opportunities Strong benefit packages Really enjoy it.

Cons

EXTREMELY hard for staff to advance at RIT. Don't assume you can ever move up. Heavy administrative silos cause inefficiencies. Non-exempt employees are significantly undervalued by administration Although many senior hourly employees have graduate degrees, they're often treated as though they aren't smart enough to contribute meaningful ideas. This results in a great deal underutilized suggestions and ideas that could make the Univerity work much smarter. Pay is competitive with the local market, but extremely low for the national market. Unfortunately, RIT is no longer attracting the best people and the best staff they do have are beginning to make efforts to leave.

Good benefits, low pay

Pros

You work here for the benefits and to help students, not your biweekly pay check. Nice atmosphere though and a lot of great caring employees.

Cons

Pay. Promotion opportunity is lacking. HR is not helpful if you are having difficulty with promotion or job changes. I was told if I didn't like my job I could quit. Nice attitude! I'm taking their advice.
