Pros – The benefits of working at the U of U is the benefit package, along with the job security. That and the free commute on Trax.

Advice to Senior Management – If you are going to spend multi-millions advertising what athletic conference we are in, and how the uni ranks in this poll or that, why not spend a smaller amount to give your employees raises?

All employees are given free passes for transit which, if you live in the right area, is perfectly adequate for getting to/from work.
People are generally respectful of work/life balance.

Cons – The salaries can be a bit low relative to the cost of housing in SLC.
All construction, everywhere, all the time.
Dependent on Utah State Legislature for funding.
Explosion of administrative positions at expense of education.
Revenues increasingly a focus.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep the primary goal to provide a world class education for a reasonable price to the residents of Utah and surrounding states. Do not go further down the path of poorly paid adjunct faculty to respond to funding pressures. Instead, trim administrative dead weight.

I have been working at University of Utah part-time for more than a year

Pros – The pay is fair and they provide good, flexible hours most of the time. The facilities are nice, usually clean and professional. Great coworkers and general environment, although sometimes there is a lot of red tape.

Cons – Seniority rules, so if you end up underneath someone who is incompetent, lazy, or just doesn't like you then you're in for a rough ride. Change is slow, and suggestions are rarely taken as seriously as they ought to be.

Advice to Senior Management – Create a better system for identifying and correcting problems. Your employees and students on the ground can tell you more about the success/failure of day to day operations than anyone else!

Pros – Office is really laid back, everyone is nice and friendly. They normally don't fire anyone, don't have to worry about job security. Never late on paycheck.

Cons – The wage is relatively low compared to similar jobs at corporate employers, maybe because University's funding is quite limited.
A lot of people working here would eventually choose to retire here, so promotion opportunities are limited.

Advice to Senior Management – Please increase salary and consider bonus incentive.
