Arizona State University Employee Reviews

Ethics, being human, not exploiting educators and students, stop being corporate

Transparency and be more down to earth. A lot of privilege above the manager level and they like it that way.

Creating a workplace culture that makes me not dread coming to work every day. DEI processes/training built in for staff and implemented in terms of administrative work, not just our public facing programs. Learning how to make staff feel valued. Increased transparency. Less micro-managing.

Communicating what they want better

Review from Engineering Dept

We're underpaid, most of us. Rolling out the boilerplate that we get tuition benefits etc gets old and hollow, especially when from folks making 2x or more than we do.

Typically employees below director level are paid 20-25% below what they would in the private sector. It's too much money to leave on the table if you are young and ambitious. They need to bring pay up a lot. Saying we get free tuition for ourselves and 75% off for dependents doesn't matter to us.

I am underpaid (even for working at ASU) and there's no path forward built into my department. Our "merit raises," if we are deemed worth a merit raise, don't even keep up with inflation. My director doesn't reflect back in ways that make you think he hears you and very defensive if critique occurs.

Higher wages would make me feel more valued

ASU wages are very low. They try to make up for it by highlighting the great benefits and free tuition.

We do meet a lot. We meet far more than in any other job that I have had. In many cases, the meetings are productive, but sometimes, we are waiting for someone to arrive to lead the meeting. Also, the meeting "ice breakers" tend to go on too long.

Compensation and more fairness in who gets promoted

Management, vision, passion
