    Good place to learn

    Pros

    -pro education -managers open to suggestion - care abt worker fatigue

    Cons

    Their pto system doesn’t benefit the employees. They say you get 23 days accrued however they don’t tell you that holidays are included in that and so it’s actually only 13 days of personal time.

    SERIOUS bad things happening here

    Feb 18, 2023 - Ophthalmic Technician in Miami, FL
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Affordable medical benefits, tuition remission

    Cons

    Serious lack of professionalism by leadership. Toxic and hostile work environment. Verbal abuse to employees. Hypocrisy. Unsafe place to work. Retaliation from leadership. Supervisors are not qualified for their positions, with no formal education in leadership. Supervisors yell at staff, send unprofessional texts /calls at all hours of the night, talk poorly about staff to other staff, threaten staff unfairly, amongst other travesties. HR is ineffective. Will claim to “investigate” and “address” serious mistreatment and illegal activities, yet said mistreatment and illegal activities continue with no change. MÚLTIPLE employees will report the same complaints about a supervisor for years, with evidence of such complaints, and the supervisor will never be removed from their role. Upward growth is nearly impossible. If you are not either related to, or best friends with the hiring manager- you will not get the role. Despite your qualifications. Promotions are given based on favoritism, not qualifications. Positions will be posted yet the candidate chosen often times has none of the qualifications listed on the job listing (certifications/degrees) UM has a wonderful reputation which in no way is reflected by the way BPEI is ran. All of this is well known within staff. Yet many employees who do not speak English well or are dependent upon their medical benefits with UM feel they cannot resign. Employees do not continue working at BPEI because they are happy with their work environment, but because of other factors that prevent them from leaving. Those who can leave, leave. Hence their turn over rate and constant understaffing.

    Not a healthy environment…

    Feb 5, 2023 - Marketing Specialist in Coral Gables, FL
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    A decent entry-level position for gaining marketing experience.

    Cons

    1. Poor compensation for the amount of work and expectations placed on the marketing specialist. 2. The university does not provide a supportive or stable working environment. The HR department is not effective, and often does not advocate for the employees they are supposed to represent. They do not address the toxic work culture of being afraid to come forward with complaints. 3. Marketing budgets are often extremely 4. Those marketing specialists who work for individual departments are often working under a faculty member or an individual who does not have an experienced business or marketing background. The opportunity for mentorship is therefore lacking. typically are working under supervisors who do not have a marketing or business background. 5. There is no room for vertical improvement. Unfortunately, I was verbally told I had “hit the ceiling”, and that the area I worked under was not willing to create a new position for me to grow into, and they were not willing to increase my salary.
