Pros

The students are driving the institution toward a more equitable expression of itself. You will likely experience the most intelligent and thoughtful coworkers you've ever had. The benefits are second to none and the campus is beautiful. Campus culture, broadly speaking, embraces gender diversity and non-binary identities though this trait is not uniform within all offices.

Cons

The administration protects leaders and managers who are toxic and harmful. Even at the associate level, the expectation is that employees will be at-attention 7 days a week. The stress level for administrative staff is high at all observed ranks. The atmosphere can be somewhat litigious and prone to politics, even for a higher ed institution. While I do believe the college has the best intentions in moving toward racial justice, it has yet to make the necessary changes to prove its commitment to equity and inclusion.

Reed College Underpays and Undervalues their staff and faculty of color

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The other staff and faculty of color are amazing to work with, very collaborative

Cons

Reed as an institution promotes diversity and inclusion but does not actively work to make sure those things are being implemented towards their black and brown students, staff, and faculty. They underpay and undervalue their staff and faculty of color by giving them more work than what they are paid for and creating hostile working enviornments.
