Kansas State University

Is this your company?

My experience at K-State over the past several years has been very unrewarding. - Anonymous employee Kansas State University Employee Review

Pros

K-State has a good reputation as a good place for students and this does make me proud to work here. It is a job.

Cons

Some people are paid a fair salary - others are not but no way to tell how it is determined and if you ask, you are told it was compared to something or other but no one knows what or how. From what I can tell in my area the only way for advancement is if you are a sycophant..

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
