SF State University reviews

the pay is very low.

Made up rules and challenging bureaucratic structure makes it hard to accomplish anything. Administrative support people are the backbone of the institution but oftentimes if one person leaves a team, everything falls apart. No promotion pathways, no raise structures. The salary you get when you first join, is the one you're stuck with and it doesnt matter how hard you work. Lots of people have the mindset of "this is the way it has always been," and dont question the legitimacy of these rules.
