Pros
It’s a very good employer
Cons
I don’t see any cons.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Staff at UMD receive generous benefits, and it’s a collaborative culture.
Cons
Definitely negotiate for a high starting salary because it’s very difficult to get raises once you’re on the job.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Meaningful research, diverse patient population, encouraged to learn, and opportunities to work with interdisciplinary "professionals"
Cons
Too much nepotism and politics, hardly any accountability for research funders, minimal investment in career development for staff, and not proactive enough regarding safety protocols
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Good state government benefits. Very generous Annual and Sick leaves.
Cons
The management at least in my Department is socialism- style. They do care about your performance, but not so much! Instead, the main metrics to raise your equity pay is whether your current pay is close to the mean values. They even use metrics like 1 standard deviation, etc. What a joke! If you are a slacker and want to cheat into the system, UMD is a perfect place for you. They will make sure to increase your pay just because your pay is lower than others. If you are super talented and work really hard, and want to get compensation based on your performance, please stay away from UMD as much as you can. There is a reason their ranking is slipping!

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Work on campus while studying Flexibility with schedule

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Not too bad. You get to teach students and grade their homework.

Gives you the ability to see things from the professor's point of view. You get to grade papers without having to solve the questions yourself. FYI these questions could take an entire day to solve and then you wouldn't even be sure if you did them right.
Cons
Grading papers suck very much. I had to grade the homework for an upper-level engineering class (ENAE423) of 108 students. Each question had multiple parts and if someone messes one up, it follows into subsequent questions. Had to figure out how to assign points properly because it was entirely up to me.

Community Involvement and Collaborative Partnerships

No Union At The Time
