UMass Amherst Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

State benefits are generous - vacation and sick time, as well as health and dental insurance. The tiered salary system at UMass benefits long-time employees.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I have received outside offers from other universities and my School refuses to even match their salary. We have lost at least 11 faculty in the last four years in my School alone. If you value your faculty RETAIN them.

more competitive salary that is a living wage

make sure everyone has a say that is involved in the day to day

we should have a higher stipend or need to be paid overtime
