Supportive work environment with room for personal growth - Senior Department Administrator Rice University Employee Review

Pros

Beautiful campus, professional development opportunities galore, smart students, strong benefits and compensation package, generous vacation time. The University offers flexibility and creative opportunities rarely found in private industry and for the right personality, it is a place to blossom as a leader.

Cons

Challenging, can be demanding hours and frustrating bureaucratic processes, some departments honor work/life balance better than others. Rice is what you make of it; if you aren't happy in the department you begin with, you can easily find a better fit on campus elsewhere but you have to make the effort. If you want cookie cutter rules and clearly defined processes, Rice will be maddening to you.
