Pros

TRS Pension. Not the worst place to spend a few years. It can be an especially good place for young people to learn early career skills, but you are likely to have to move out to move up.

Cons

The departments are siloed and department managers have basically unchecked power, which is not so great if they don’t like you. This also leads to dysfunction where departments spend more time playing CYA and finger pointing games than actually advancing the org’s mission. If you are staff you will always be third banana next to students and faculty.

Pros

good salary and UT benefits

Cons

inconsistent leadership, lack of structure, no guidance on navigating COVID, departments are left to their own rules (dress code, phones, remote work, working hours) so there is a huge disparity in work areas....there is a general lack of professionalism that is plain to see and hear from answering the phone - or NOT answering which is the biggest issue - to cartoons emojis as peoples outlook photos. rules clearly do not apply to upper management. people try to complain make issues known but action is never taken.

UTP rampant disrespect and sexism

Pros

Literally, nothing was a pro at UTP.

Cons

UTP is a dreadful place to work. Because UTP is a physician-led organization, doctors do whatever they want, which in my experience included overt sexism: doctors would look at my breasts and butt and continue to do so even when I confronted them. Two of the doctors advised that we hire "more attractive women" for the front desk. The doctors and executives who support them treat clinical support employees with abhorrence. You simply don't matter if you aren't a doctor. Patients at UT are allowed to treat doctors and support personnel like garbage. I was reprimanded after a patient assaulted me physically and verbally. The pay is far less than market rates. Stay away - as a patient and employee.
