UC Merced reviews

- I never wanted to eat at the DC. Not because things were unsanitary (although salad bar is just set up for failure, let's be real) but because you just get so tired of it. - The career workers were/are resistant to change. They tend to be set in their ways, and they know what they can and cannot do without getting fired. Many (but not all) career workers abused that knowledge. - The pay was not fair, when I worked there, for what they ask you to do as a Supervisor/Manager. Hopefully they've since improved that, but hey - it's a college job, and looks good on a resume.

Poor on-baording for new staff members. Little to no training or written posted protocols for campus procedures. Severely understaffed and most everyone is overworked. Several persons in leadership roles are not qualified to do their position as they would be at a more well established institution. Lack of professionalism amongst staff. Central IT and systems are outdated, not integrated, poor user interface and adds to staff work.
