Merrimack College Reviews

Unfortunately, I had the most toxic work experience and time at Merrimack. While I felt like there was a strong sense of community, I felt incredibly misunderstood, did not receive support (all within months of starting), was told that my time traveling for work did not count towards my work, and was refused/denied compensation for travel expenses that were supposed to be covered under business travel expenses by the college. I feel so deeply regretful of my time there. I can tell everyone was highly overworked, and did not have a very good work/life balance. Everything revolved around each other and Merrimack itself. There was little room for innovative ideation. It was the most traumatic work experience I have ever had, and I still am recovering in many ways from that time today. I would highly encourage folks to ask the hard questions of the day to day before getting involved in this particular office.

No job security, extreme hierarchy, frequent termination of the most loyal, well-known, valuable and long-term employees due to "changes in structure", top-down intimidation and poor management styles frequently force those who have not been terminated to leave on their own, too many scandals - both publicized and those somehow kept "under wraps".
