Do you love doing work and not getting paid for it? - Senior Academic Advisor The Ohio State University Employee Review

Staff at this university are treated like chattel. They are expected to be highly educated, experienced, flexible, and resilient, but do not see the compensation that folks outside the university do. You have to pay to park on campus (between 50-100/month-probably more now). The campus is very siloed by college and expectations for staff vary by college and even by department within colleges. No matter how many hats you wear or how much you take on, you will never get "promoted" or get a pay increase above 3-4% per year (don't let anyone on this campus try to tell you there's an advising career ladder, it doesn't exist). Anything and everything gets dumped onto academic staff, especially advising staff. The university and the colleges are constantly asking for employee and student feedback and doing nothing with it. The university states that it values diversity, but does the bare minimum to support diverse faculty, staff, and students. HR doesn't value talent, nor do they care to retain the folks that do great work.
