Vantaggi

It's an exciting environment, the students are excited to learn for the most part. When you're not in the busiest parts of the semester, you have a lot of flexibility with how you spend your time. You aren't required to work from your office; you can work from home and just show up to teach.

Svantaggi

Little to no professional development once you're hired. Great colleagues, but there's no chance to interact with them. Students can be grade-grubbers and complain about anything less than an A. In my experience, more responsibilities were added to the job every year, with no increase in pay besides the bare minimum annual raise everyone gets. Little to no effort will be made to retain you, or to get to know you as a person. Little opportunity for growth--you're there to do the job and then move on to something better once your time is up.

Vantaggi

This place is huge, your mileage may vary based on which school and which department you work in - even in the same role. I have the best manager hands-down, and the team around me makes it all worth it.

Svantaggi

Pay is slow to advance, PTO stuck at 15ish days annual, career advancement is inconsistent

Vantaggi

Great Union and benefits for non-profits/higher ed. Wonderful colleagues outside of leadership!

Svantaggi

GSD Development and Alumni Relations (under current leadership) is an incredibly toxic work environment. I didn't realize the intensity of the toll it took on my until after leaving, and I am not one to leave a negative review, but as they are hiring for several positions currently, I wish to share words of caution with applicants. Cons: - Absolutely not a safe space for anyone who is Black, brown, trans, queer, working-class, or disabled - 100% top-down direction. No room for personal exploration, initiative, or creativity. - Minimal guidance from leadership - Frequent pivots, even in the late stages of projects - Petty, immature talking behind your back by leadership - No upward mobility unless the Associate Dean or Dean like you - Deeply disingenuous comments, reflections, and feedback from leadership - Complete lack of transparency on direction, goals, etc. - Small mistakes are made cornerstones of performance evaluations, while leadership routinely missteps. Leadership never takes accountability. - Top-down policy decisions, completely lacking detail, thought, and care outside of legal ramifications - Ever-changing in-office requirements
