Colby College Reviews

Not the place for people of color or Black people. They lack resources to support mental health. Expect less talented and accomplished colleagues to be promoted above you. Expect to work twice as hard to have half as much. Start saving for therapy after your time working there. HR will not help you but how can they when they are paid to protect the institution? It’s a cold place and I don’t mean just the weather. Ask around before you consider a role here. What’s good for you professionally might not be worth the toll personally.

Many salaries do not keep up with industry standards. The only way to get a significant pay increase is to threaten to leave at which time you might be given a pay increase. Annual salary increases are meager around 1.5% for top-performers. I generally wouldn't complain, but there's a dichotomy when letters go out stating tuition costs are going up 5% to keep up with cost of living increases, but pay increases for workers are much below that.
