Meredith College Reviews

Pay is horrible. You can make double your salary or more almost anywhere else. There are also NO merit raises. There is a standard across the board raise once a year and it is generally 1-2%. Very little (if any) opportunities for advancement. The faculty are looked at/treated like royalty. Staff members are treated like peasants.

The pay at Meredith is absolutely pitiful compared to neighboring institutions and there are few benefits/perks to make up for it besides free parking. Recently, the DOJ increased the salary threshold for Exempt (salaried employees, monthly, no overtime pay, only log time off on timecard) employees to $43,888 with another increase expected in January 2025. Instead of raising their employees pay (which they avoid doing at all costs even though cost of living has significantly changed in the Raleigh area), Meredith has decided to move any employees under that threshold to Non-Exempt status, completely changing how they are compensated, giving ONLY TWO WEEKS NOTICE. This is unacceptable.
