Flexible hours but pay doesn't match the Bay Area cost - Research Assistant Santa Clara University Employee Review

Good people to work with

none that i can think of

-On-campus housing but you pay for it with less monetary compensation and working 24/7 -Healthcare/dental benefit -403b - but you have to stay for a couple years before you are vested.

-Poor leadership - violate common sense boundaries. Beware of Heather Dumas-Dyer. -They underpay employees (it's too low for the Bay Area and amount of work they request) -No work-life separation or balance due to them overworking employees. You are expected to work 9-5 and then engage in evening/weekend campus events while also being on-call after-hours and responding in person so you're working all the time. They say it's expected for exempt employees. It's no wonder people burn out. -They lock you into a term contract so you have to find another job before you become homeless. They have terms so they can systematically cycle people out of the job and there's no accountability for them to treat the RDs well (their term will be up and they'll be gone in 2-4 years). -They talk about nice values and pleasant/team-supported work but it's a lie. They don't practice their values.
