University of New Mexico Reviews

Pros

Friendly with flexible hours and great people and management

Cons

Student position so I was limited by hours

Pros

work-life balance, work hours, time

Cons

I don't think of any at the moment

Pros

Generous employee benefit programs offered to everyone

Cons

Not very high salary paid

Pros

Decent pay for contract instructors

Cons

Very low hiring standards for faculty and staff, extremely low academic standards for undergraduates, disorganized or incompetent management throughout departments, strong undergraduate student protections coupled with minimal enforcement of protections for faculty or instructors

Pros

As a full-time lecturer I had the opportunity to teach without research requirements and minimal issues with the politics of tenure-track. I felt supported my departement and enjoyed working with departments across campus. I really enjoyed the student population and campus. I didn't find anything negative about UNM that wasn't present on most college campuses. You can supplement salary with summer and interim teaching.

Cons

There is not much rom for growth in salary in this position. Department and university service are expected. Academic politics.
