Cons
In a recent survey between 60-70% of the staff indicated that they feel like they're not valued and have shared that they're looking elsewhere due to a toxic work culture. Only 36% said "advancement leadership values them as individuals" (4% strongly agree, 14% 18% somewhat agree) while 57% felt this was false (10% somewhat disagree, 18% disagree, 29% strongly disagree) and 7% were unsure. To the question "I have considered leaving UIC because of the culture in OVCA (Advancement office)" 57% said they agreed (21% strongly agree, 16% agree, 13% somewhat agree) and only 37% said they disagreed (7% somewhat disagree, 25% disagree, and 5% strongly disagree) and 7% were unsure/didn't know. Many people used the free response question to call out the current leadership and/or to express that even in an anonymous survey they didn't feel comfortable avoiding retaliation for giving honest feedback.

Cons
- Everyone in a managerial role of any kind avoids confrontation and pushes their work on to lower level employees resulting in a terrible work life balance - Interdepartmental relationships/communication is a complete disaster - Nobody is held accountable for the actions or lack thereof - Extremely poor compensation in exchange for an almost impossible work load - Even after complaints from both student athletes and their respective athletic trainers about abuse from coaches, management looks the other way and does not address the issue - Severely understaffed - Athletics department is at a complete stand still. Nothing is being improved and there is no attempt at being productive
