The University of North Carolina System Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great work/life balance, healthy relationship with colleagues.

Cons

Parking is the biggest con of working at UNC. If you are a commuter, your best option is that free bus pass.

Pros

Work/Life balance but that isn't because of good leadership, its a state job so you work a consistent schedule as an SHRA employee

Cons

If you care about growth, do not work at UNC. Everything on that campus is political. The HR department staff have personal relationships with leaders of different schools so if you need their assistance with anything, you won't get it. No raises, no bonuses and if you have more education than your co-worker, you are paid the same amount of money, no matter what. A lot of times employees will have more education... than their supervisors. It is embarrassing that a institution of higher education, does not seek education in most of their employees, just another way to keep wages low. Management is old and out of touch with how the world has evolved, still trying to hold on to their southern, racist, sexist etc views. If you want to work on a campus, don't make it this one unless you just love how "great" UNC is a basketball.

Advice to Management

Stop thinking you are the smartest person in the room because most of the time, that isn't true just because you have worked here for the last 25 years. Stand on the right side of history for once!

Pros

i) Work/ life balance is good. Since, Professors understand the student work load and they don't pressurize them. ii) The job role provides excellent career opportunities for the student.

Cons

Pay is okay but it is fine for part time students.

Advice to Management

Always better to work with up-to-date and advanced technology

Pros

great work-life balance, flexibility in scheduling to honor student schedules

Cons

small staff so shift coverage for call-outs/sickness could be difficult, no additional benefits

Pros

Great people, fun town to live in. Interesting projects. Good work life balance. Was able to build a good network and this looked good on my resume.

Cons

None that come to mind. Maybe the pay, but otherwise I really enjoyed working at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Pros

Family Atmostphere Good work life balance Good vacation time.

Cons

Very Political. No upward growth. Limited Resources

Advice to Management

Provide better training, and introductions for new hire employees. Sending a mass email is not enough.

Pros

Work life balance is good. There is room for growth if you are in the right deparment.

Cons

Departmental issues, which does not necessarily portray the University as a whole.

Pros

Work/Life balance is great, and it is easy to receive approval for time-off with UNC's TIM system; working as a state employee provides retirement benefits that you contribute to with each paycheck

Cons

I work in an academic setting, so pay raises are difficult to come by unless the state decides there is room in the budget for that particular fiscal year. It took nearly 3 years to get a pay raise of $2/hour.
