Great Organization But Poor Leadership - Campus Safety Officer Anderson University (SC) Employee Review

Support supervisors, clear work expectations, opportunities for professional development, consistent yet flexible work hours

Low pay and hours must be 20 or less during the semester; 40 hours or less during summer

1. Team Culture & Collaboration. I loved the people I worked with on the team. They were at the top of their field, caring, and encouraging! 2. Variety in the job was a plus! 3. Kind people! But kind and well-intentioned doesn't always mean people know how to manage or lead.

1. Poor Higher-Level Leadership. Indecisive, unaccountable, and resistant to change. Did not respect the expertise of those they hired. 2. Unwillingness to fire employees who were not doing their job. Avoiding necessary firings created burnout for those left to carry the burden. 3. Broken Systems and Lack of Boundaries. Despite repeatedly proposing strategic plans aligned with industry standards widely adopted by peer institutions, my suggestions were dismissed without adequate reason. 4. Inefficiencies and Lack of Accountability. 5. Low Compensation and Weak Benefits. Also, no paid parental leave for staff! 6. I spent more energy battling broken systems than on doing the job I was brought in to perform.
