Current Employee – been working at Tulane

ProsThe best reason I can think of to work at Tulane University would be the benefits. The perk of having your children go to school for free.

ConsThere is no communication, very unethical, and horrible place to be employed. Very political with no due process or praise for superior work.

Advice to Senior ManagementLearn how to effectivley monitor Departments so they are not an independent entity. They are able to do whatever they want to do.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
