RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at University of Houston Downtown part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
They have treated me much more professionally and respectfully than many of the other schools I've worked for as an adjunct.
Cons
Difficult to advance without a PhD, but that's typical. I have also gotten some politically charged emails (all liberal in nature) from staff members that I did not care for or think appropriate.
Advice to Management
Politically charged or slanted emails about your politics are not appropriate--even if it affects profits for the school.
