Good Overall - Researcher LSU Employee Review

Supportive colleagues, collaborative research environment, access to advanced research facilities, opportunities to publish high-quality research, and valuable interdisciplinary collaborations.

Policies do not always differentiate between laboratory and computational research, resulting in unnecessary on-site attendance expectations.

Benefits covered 90% of my healthcare needs. The time-off and work-from-home policies were flexible and allowed me to meet my military requirements.

The salary policy did not guarantee advancement for low-level employees. You are guaranteed a merit raise each year, but you cannot receive a salary raise within the same six-month period. If an Unclassified employee reaches the maximum of their pay scale, they will no longer receive a merit raise. A department supervisor must approve any pay scale increase. The appeal process takes longer than most are willing to accept.
