ProsI have been working at UF for 7 years at the department, main administration, and center level. I really like the benefits that the university offers to its employees. They offer a great variety of health insurace and leave.

ConsRaises are very strange. Last raise that UF got was almost 2 years ago. No performance raise.

Advice to Senior ManagementUF has a great management training program. They should do it manatory to every staff member with supervision responsabilities.

Gainesville, FL

Former Employee – worked at University of Florida full-time for more than 10 years

ProsUF is a land, sea, and air grant university in the wonderful town of Gainesville. It is an AAU member with one of the largest student populations in the US and degrees in essentially every academic discipline.

ConsUF is a state agency so tuition rates and other key decisions are out of their control although efforts continue to liberate UF from some of these constraints. Its size is also a liability and each college and the various departments supporting the university across campus work somewhat independently and things can take a long time to work their way through.

Advice to Senior ManagementIt would be great if they could get on the same page and let everyone know where that page is.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
