Likes to Toot Its Own Horn a Lot but You'd Make More Money at a CUNY
|
Very few positions here have any advancement, and that's if you have the two master's degrees they want you to have. You really have to keep your ear to the door and wait until somebody either dies or retires to get into a different position. And forget about raises, there are none. Also, whenever enrollments gets too low, they start encouraging certain workers to retire or "bump" people who haven't been working here all that long into positions where they're given, max, about 3 days worth of training. Hofstra kisses the backsides of its faculty and refuse to listen to support staff when they have valid complaints about the verbal abusiveness of aforementioned faculty. It's basically your word against the word of somebody with a PhD.
Even worse, in the COVID-19 pandemic, they've significantly reduced the hours of the support staff workers (secretaries, admin assistants, etc), the people who have to come to campus every day while faculty and higher-ups get to teach from home and not have to put their lives on the line interacting with students, esp. when Hofstra had the money to keep support staff working from home but didn't want to spare the expense (and they have plenty of money to spare, the current president of the university, Stuart Rabinowitz, is one of the wealthiest university presidents in the country). The faculty here are even holding a money pool to see if the campus will close early for the semester, as if Hofstra isn't playing with the lives of real-life people.
Also an overwhelmingly white institute (both in employees, employers, and students) despite most of the surrounding area of Hempstead/Uniondale being Latino or Black. It tells the lie to students that anyplace beyond the campus is "dangerous" but it's also no coincidence that beyond the campus are primarily people of color.
Hofstra likes to toot its own horn because it offers a lot of benefits to FT postions but honestly, you'd be better off at a CUNY, both financially and mentally.

Hostile workplace
|
There was a level of supervision that favorite thing to do was to belittle staff,and undermine the supervisors and staff just to make themselves feel superior. When reported to HR, nothing was done.

Great pay but horrible working conditions
|
Managers are condescending and way over paid. There is no ability to grow within the company. Lots of drama on campus. The students are out of control. They act like they own the place. They are mentally unstable and lots of drug abuse on campus. The salary and benefits are good. You are made to feel like you're just not important to Hofstra.

Job are very fulfilling getting to work with other students and pro staff. However pay for student workers could be better! However, I know for certain jobs pay has increased but they should make it for all student worker jobs.
