A great university to study, not so much to work

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits: paid leave days, sick days, a good health insurance plan, and a generous tuition waiver.

Cons

Salaries are lower as compared to other similar academic settings. Administrative staff are easy going and nice but somewhat unprofessional, incompetent, unorganized, and slow. KRONOS time management system is a terrible choice for a research institution.

Pros

It's a great campus work setting. The people really care about their job and making it a great experience for the students at the university.

Cons

Some of the computer systems and software were very outdated. Managers had been in their positions for many years, which sometimes led to resisting change and improvements.

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked at SPHTM while in graduate school. -Supportive and friendly work environment; sense of community -Flexible schedule; great for a student -Chances to work independently and make a useful contribution

Cons

Experienced very few downsides; however, the responsibilities granted to students are somewhat limited, making growth limited. Students are also only allowed to work a maximum number of hours (20). Pay is decent, but not great.
