Pros

Pay was 20% below standard of living which is 50% above what most employers give around here.

Cons

Zero training, unclear about expectations, and instead of team building and confronting employees about these issues they bcc every email to HR who advises them how to best position you for termination. Instead of working with you they work against you so that the over paid doctors can live with little consequence and continue to be uneffective without the hassle of advice.

Pros

Flexibility in work hours, some remove for advancement

Cons

Toxic environment, no communication, rumors are always floating around about management, HR follows policy only when they're told to otherwise policy does not matter if your boss is the right person. the entire Alumni Relations & Advancement department is a joke. Do not work here.

Despite what they say UofR DOES NOT CARE about their employees

Pros

You can get reduced tuition for yourself or family after a year. Good health insurance.

Cons

Consistently pushed to work more than 40 hours when salaried. Most people buy into working more hours (60-80), subsequently most of your co-workers are miserable. Can not take advantage of the education benefit because you are too busy working. Management thinks they are an aristocracy. Management is more interested in making sure you are under your thumb than getting a job done. Complaining to larger HR comes back to bite the employee. There is no parking. You have to pay for a parking permit. Even though the pay is not enough to survive on in Rochester and you still have to get a second job, the employee is expected to make UofR the top priority in their life. No work life balance here.
