the work in academia may not pay well, unless you are already an elite level professor. another thing is that there is no bonus in school system

Advice to Senior Management

overall it is pretty good. one thing is that they can be more aggressive in fund raising. the current way is to increase students tuitition fee, which i think is pretty bad and shortsighting

Cons

Due to is a small non-profit organization there is no opportunity to growth as an employee.

Advice to Senior Management

Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to growth as a leader because it is still in the growth stage with only a few employees.

Pros

Great knowledge, amazing examples, tremendous facilities.

Cons

My specific organization could benefit from a little more positive reinforcement and spirit.

Advice to Senior Management

While some advisers know how to push constructively, there is very little positive reinforcement, broadly speaking, from within the senior command. It certainly is noticeable when a leader knows how to lead positively.

Pros

location, campus environment, great benefit

Cons

less challenge in job, no career potential

Pros

Great learning opportunity. Large amount of autonomy. Work at own pace. Awesome student job. Fantastic letter of reference from professor.

Cons

Hard to communicate with professors due to their lack of time and non-response to emails. Nonelectronic paysheets. Too slow of pace at times.

Advice to Senior Management

Respond to emails. Make research opportunities for undergraduates more accessible. Foster greater entrepreneurial spirit amongst entire community, from students to faculty.

Pros

As a public university your salary and benefits are transparent, so you know it's fair.

Cons

As with many academic environments, the work demands can be "as much as you can give and then some!"

Advice to Senior Management

The ration between highest paid and lowest paid employees should be minimized. Right now grad students are barely scraping by, while upper-administrators are millionaires!

Pros

excellent scientists
good facilities
excellent patent services
cross-culture environment

Cons

More and more students now.

Advice to Senior Management

Limit the amount of students.
