A rare find ruined by leadership
|
|
The staff is very tight-knit and go above and beyond to care for each other and the students that attend. I was very impressed by the way the staff quickly accepted me and made me felt welcome immediately. It was easily my favorite place to work because of the relationships I was able to build with coworkers, even those not in my department. Paid holidays including two weeks off at Christmas were a definite bonus, as well as the protection a school provides in closing the campus during inclement weather. If you are someone who prioritizes faith, there is freedom to have your spiritual growth nurtured here with weekly chapel services or other events, and the ability to openly discuss faith/scripture and prayer. Dynamic relationships with students and helping them grow toward their future goals is fulfilling, along with the feeling of community afforded by a small campus. There are also numerous amenities that can be used by employees on campus, including dining services and wellness center access, and free admission to all campus activities (plays, sporting events, concerts, etc).
|
Hardworking, loyal employees who had been there for decades were deceived frequently, overworked, and continually faced cuts to benefits, budgets, and departmental staffing, which also slashed morale to the bone. These actions, while building countless new facilities, ran off many valuable workers. There is no transparency by the administration and very little value of those that work there, so you have no voice. Because of the continual cuts, pressure would increase exponentially, but you were told overtime was not allowed, then reprimanded when the workload was too much to get done during regular work hours. There are also no promotions, no cost of living raises, or opportunities for job growth, so unless you are perfectly satisfied where you are, if you are a young and/or ambitious professional, I would say this is not the place for you.

Great learning opportunity, bad pay
|
|
- Learn very quickly in a practicable way
- Fast paced environment
- Friendly Supervisors
- Great resume builder
- Very accomodating to class schedules and days off
- Very rewarding job (mentally, not pay wise)
|
- Hourly pay is extremely low, you are basically a volunteer
- Can be very frusterating for those who are impatient, scheduling is not a strong suit for many HSU faculty & staff

Great Place to Work! Good Work-Life Balance with strong values.
|
|
The people are the best thing about HSU. We are like a family. I went here for school and transitioned into work. Great place to grow as a person as well as professionally.
|
HSU is going through some tough times and had to make some tough choices. It's being done with as much care as possible but it's still tough to lose some great coworkers and people.

Great Place to Work
|
|
They treat you like family, it is a very fair place to work.
|
There really aren't many cons to working here, other than the few cons that come with working for any private higher education institution.
