Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
very supportive of all staff
I really have no opinion
Each area in the University is like a small corporation. Some great, some not. The Advancement area has been under new leadership for the last three years. I have been SO grateful. The desire to provide the best for the University is reflected in providing the best for their teams.
Kind hardworking integrity focused driven
The campus community in my College really cares about one another. Everyone genuinely enjoys working together.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leniency and flexibility, getting out of peoples hair so they can do their jobs. Not being so judging of people not like them. Treat employees with respect instead of outward annoyance and contempt.
Focus more on accommodating employees feelings
Literally everything. The culture is the worst part and it needs to be changed. You have the power to do this. Stop accepting tattling and back biting.
Leadership is awful. Rather than improving things, it's just "same old" around here. You can't speak up, lest you get fired.
How to win friends and influence people.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
continuing education and vacation time
Insurance premium cost is very good.
inexpensive and four more words
We have incredible benefits for health and education.
The University provides great benefits. Yes - it's a problem in a way, because you need take home pay, also. The benefits compensate for most.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We all deserve better pay.
The UofU generally underpays people. However the benefits are amazing and make up a lot for it.
Compensation is low but the benefits are fantastic
Better raises would do the trick.
Wages seem to be below market compared to what I've seen elsewhere
What are some of the best things about your team?
always willing to assist eachother
Generally willing to help out when questions arise. Some people do not make you feel good about having questions though.
We ask each other questions and support each other. Even with people at home due to COVID19, we can still keep in contact through messaging.
We have gone through a restructuring process. The team works closely with the board members to support the University's overall goals.
Focused driven determined accountable fun
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
make me feel more welcome
Stop repeating the same thing every time and actually change things that need to.
Just having more positive attitudes.
Stop backbiting, tattling, and infighting. Try respecting your colleagues, especially if they're new to the organization. They don't need to prove themselves to you.
Get rid of the cliques and improve cohesiveness. Stop allowing employees to single out and harass others. Build a supportive environment, not a competitive one.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
supportive learning, eager helpers, great team interactions
Most people genuinely want to help, but it’s difficult to do so because of managemen
The atmosphere and the majority of the people. I am fortunate to work with positive people around me and if I have questions, our supervisor line is always there to assist, with no judgment.
The current Interim Chief Alumni Relations Officer has focused on strengths and a positive culture. She's been moving the proverbial ship in the ocean!
My mentor gives good feedback when I have questions.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Loosen the dress code and let people work from home when possible
It's a good environment. Recently they changed scheduling for psych techs to self scheduling and a lot of the psych techs are unhappy about this. I think it will even out but there is a lot of negativity about the change.
Stop backbiting and infighting. Stop tattling. Stop treating others with disrespect. Help those who need it without demeaning them.
Be positive and make sure to recognize all employees, as needed.
What did you like most about the interview process?
no interview process, just application
I started working here in 1988 - the process was quick and personal
Peer interview was instructive and helped me feel welcome.
it's been a long time ago
The ability to conduct the interview over the internet.

great coworkers, great physicians, great patients

The relationships make me most happy.
Environment fast smart reliable determined
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Company image isn’t look upon well because of rumors, so we are losing busines
I think it will just take time for the self scheduling to be routine.
Honestly. I feel like a number most of the time
Needs to be more positive.
What do you like best about your company?
great retirement and benefits, good team
Their support and guidance. I love learning new things and polishing the current skills I have. They provide the education and knowledge I need for this.
The company culture of life and work balance
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Base pay and three more
Pay - while the pay & benefits they offer are great, by the time taxes and benefits are taken out, the take-home is almost 1/4 less.
Hire more people to make work environment less stressful
