How employees describe working at USC
Management does not delegate or diffuse disagreements. Management makes disagreements worse. Understaffing has led coworkers to fight about who has to take on extra tasks and management expects them to figure it out on their own. They don't.

USC at face value can feel like a very idealistic institution work-wise, in that there is a lot of talk about the great things we should be doing or what is considered to be an ideal working environment (trojan family), but consistently falls short of achieving any of it well...if it all.

Nice people but always room for approvement. A little slow recruiting new hires.

Respuesta de los mejores empleados
Depends on your manager and department. Overall, many employees are self-motivated and dedicated to the mission of helping students excel. There is little recognition for high performing employees and unfortunately, low performing employees are not mentored to improve nor are they laid off. Student facing departments (admissions, recruiting, career services) are focused on numbers (test scores, GPA, employment etc.) and at times lose sight of the student. Overall, it is a pleasant place to work and faces the same ups and downs as many large organizations.
