University of Colorado Denver Employee Reviews

Immediate supercisor is great. The new associate vixe chancellors are grabbing organizational individuals to suppoet their to grade. It is awful.

Our leadership invests tens of thousands of dollars into personal brand-building. We are literally hiring agencies to draft think pieces they can "author" to be perceived as thought leaders. The only benefit is that the goal of this project is to build their resumes enough for them to leave.

The PTO is very generous.

We work together well to get the job sone. We are thwre to aerve the students but the managers seem to have forgotten that. Paying tuition to pay managers the 250k and have so many many upper managers isn't providing for or helping their education. The situation is getting worse weekly.

The constant fighting for resources leaves no room for trust.

It has been positive as team works together but now that people are leaving raoidly its harder to say if its positive. Look at the public salaries and you'll see the discrepancy for the pay between vice chancelors and staff.

Salary caps for senior leadership. Eliminate half of middle management. Hire people who are capable of work and don't exist merely to be an approver/denier. Invest in resources for queer and BIPOC employees, because prejudice is deeply entrenched on this campus.

Meeting all the people i would work with.

I've seen employees go through 5 rounds of interviews for a job that pays less than $50k. I've also sat on hiring committees where candidates were dismissed for having "low energy" in their speech patterns. Objective candidate evals are a joke.

CU Denver exists in the shadow of CU Boulder. The strength is the quality and passion of the students. Fewer Vice Chancellors: more faculty. A living wage should not be reserved for tenure-track faculty.
