The PTO is very generous.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

The constant fighting for resources leaves no room for trust.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

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.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

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.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

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.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

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.
