I was employed at Webster for several years and witnessed the unfortunate consequences of the change in management.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The central location and spacious offices.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I would not recommend this workplace to anyone.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The recommendations to improve this workplace are far too extensive to list here.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working climate steadily declined over several years. It resulted in an extremely high turnover and had a negative effect on both employee morale and job engagement.
Kommunikation
Communication was on a need-to-know basis with important structural changes (teams, policies, etc.) often communicated after the fact.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
While some employees worked well together, the high turnover and very partial management resulted in fractured teams in every department.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In my career, I have seldom experienced such a high tolerance for inadequate management.
Gleichberechtigung
The level of sexism exposed (and tolerated) in this workplace is deplorable.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Older employees were summarily dismissed. One can only surmise that this was seen as a cost-saving measure given the fact that the employees were otherwise competent.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The building and location are the most attractive part of the work.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Absolutely no transparency in the salary scales. Some benefits (pension, public transport).
Image
The university has always been perceived as catering to the rich who can afford to purchase their diploma rather than work for their degree (a diploma mill). While this was not always accurate, given more recent changes, it may be hard to dispute that image now.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Mobility within the institution was possible.
