University of Central Oklahoma Reviews

Pros

Interesting and challenging work; good vacation time/paid time off; bustling campus with lots of activities; professional development opportunities and opportunities to be involved across campus; appropriate and thoughtful response to Black Lives Matter movement

Cons

Noncompetitive salaries; silo'd campus departments; bizarre handling of COVID-19 situation (all of the decisions are made by a mysterious task force whose membership is not made public and does not include key parts of campus, like the library {There have been rumblings that decisions were made about library operations without consulting library administration, which is currently the only public building open right now}; COVID protocols very vague compared to other institutions); HR does not provide clear guidance and often relies on "supervisor's discretion"; Campus IT needs a hard look at their management and how they treat their IT professionals

Pros

Comfortable place to work. Feels good to be true to the infrastructure which is a great place to climb a ladder if you create the actual position. Tradition is highly regarded.

Cons

Little fluctuation of leadership infrastructure. Out with the old and right back in with the old. Which can suck for you at times...

Pros

Good benefits, great people (for the most part), lots of opportunities for training and advancement in some areas

Cons

IT upper management was the WORST. Terrible people who don't care about you. Constant turnover because you feel ganged upon. And don't dare try to go to HR and report them.. HR will take their side, and there will be repercussions.

Pros

Loved the people I worked with.

Cons

Pay and not many growth opportunities

Pros

Location, Benefits and Great Coworkers.

Cons

Bad hours, compensation is laughable.
