Very poor Management, Failing Finances, Low staff moral - Administrative Assistant Drew University Employee Review

Pros

Nice setting, good students and academics.

Cons

The top Management including the President, CFO, and some Vice President's have both culturally and financially damaged the University. The finances are in very poor condition, draining the endowment, excessive spending. No improvement in the 3-4 years they have been here. Staff moral is at an all time low, employee retention is abysmal with many leaving or getting laid off. No raises for years (except for the chosen few). It appears the President and CFO received raises while they were laying people off and the school is losing money. Can't speak for the academics, but from a staff standpoint, it is a very poor place to work. Change at the top is desperately needed.
