Culture vs Condescension - Program Assistant Stanford University Employee Review

Pros

The intellectual and cultural atmosphere cannot be duplicated elsewhere. There are many opportunities for continuing education and the campus is a beautiful spot.

Cons

Many people might feel that salaries are not as high as they might be, but what I find worse is the built in hierarchy which results from academics feeling that they are superior to those who have chosen other career paths. Particularly among older tenured faculty, a certain attitude of condescension prevails.
