Staff are underpaid - Administrative Assistant Portland State University Employee Review

Pros

High value on diversity and inclusion

Cons

PSU is not well funded, and tends to be top heavy (more high paid upper level management and many fewer staff than other universities of comparable size). As a result, staff are vastly underpaid, and when positions are vacated, they are not filled. Instead, the remaining staff are given extra work, without extra compensation.
