Robert Morris University - Pennsylvania Reviews

Pros

+Good for commuters +Professors are alright

Cons

-Barely any worthwhile activities -Dead on weekends -Food is a mixed bag -Care more about sports than students

Pros

Typical pros of working at a university: nice setting, decent benefits, tuition waiver, coworkers passionate about their work, and having a relationship with students and alumni.

Cons

Salaries for staff are low. Strategic direction doesn't focus on students. Staff haven't had a raise in a couple years and the last one was just 1%. Benefits have been reduced. Very limited room to grow and develop - a log jam of boomers and older Gen Xers at the Director level and above who aren't looking to move up or out keeps younger and/or hungry staff stifled. VPs get paid nice bonuses when nobody else gets one (that's not usually a thing at universities)

Pros

Excellent way to get your feet wet teaching.

Cons

Wates money on unnecessary items/upgrades. Pay more to adjunct

Pros

Big enough to matter, small enough to care. At RMU, employees have the opportunity to get involved in a wide variety of projects that better the University. The organizations is always looking to improve what is currently being done. Very student centered. No matter what job or department, we are all here for the students and that is a good feeling!

Cons

Parking during the academic year can be tight. Some of the buildings are old and run-down. Similar to many historical college campuses.
