How are career development opportunities at Tulane University?

Wonderful work environment, management takes consideration of your input, management puts lots of effort in your career growth for success.

No cons in my opinion.

- career growth opportunities - open to constructive feedback from the employees - friendly and approachable HR

- some departments are not as employee-friendly - lack of communication in the team - unclear expectations regarding working hours - short-staffed teams causing more work load in some departments - not very inclusive

Great place to work and not too demanding. Also there is a lot of opportunity for professional development.

It sometimes feels like the various departments don’t coordinate as much as we could, which impacts how effective we are at serving the students.

Wonderful colleagues, strong mission, generous PTO / holiday and retirement contribution. Tuition benefit a huge perk.

Minimal YOY salary growth. Often limited career progression.

Flexible work schedule, co-workers, hours; benefits

Salary, growth opportunities, job training, culture

Supportive and reasonable supervisor. Good health benefits. Paid leave on university holidays.

High staff turn over. Limited budget and opportunities for growth. Executive leadership is mostly white men.

Here goes: Many intelligent and kind coworkers, additional vacation time at the holidays, tuition waiver, name recognition, quality health insurance.

I came to Tulane degreed, ready to work and ready to achieve. To my disappointment, I found that many departments are fiefdoms, with mid-level management types prepared to do very little to ensure the employees they are supervising can plan a successful career trajectory. Promises of advancement (low, and hard won), promises of mentorship (zero), there were many unrealized promises. The only two perks worth their salt are the tuition waiver, and additional vacation days due to the academic schedule. I'd prefer to have industry-standard pay instead of the embarrassingly low paycheck. This is not an unusual or solitary opinion. The people I've noticed who are appreciative of their jobs are the caste-system types who are at the top of the pecking order, stranded on their ivory towers. Good for you Doctor/Dean/Chair/Vice/Level III employee/Professor-whoever. The rest of us are sucking wind. I have a peer who left TU after applying internally for 23 jobs. Most departments didn't reply to him; the other small percent who responded indicated that the position had already been filled. Word is that most jobs have someone hand-picked for the position before the job listing is live. In light of his struggle, I applied to industry, not academia, and have secured a position that is already helping dig me out of debt.
