Shaw University Reviews

I had high hopes when I accepted a position at Shaw University, as I was told that the institution was on the rise and in the process of building a stronger department. Unfortunately, that was far from the truth. In reality, Shaw University has been in decline. Just three months into my tenure, the entire staff received a 10% salary cut as part of an effort to balance the budget. The following year, several faculty members were laid off to make ends meet, leaving those who remained to take on multiple roles without any additional compensation. This has led to an overwhelming workload and a noticeable decline in morale. Key cons include a toxic work environment, lack of organization, and poor communication across departments. The high turnover rate has resulted in a chaotic atmosphere where it often feels like the blind leading the blind, causing confusion and frustration for everyone involved. Overall, my experience at Shaw University has been extremely disappointing, and I would caution others to think carefully before joining this institution.

Pay is not sufficient enough for staff workers to live off of, there are no opportunities for promotion or even a pay raise/ bonus. Toxic environment, employers that do not care for the well being of their workers. Too many people that are 65 and older who do not understand basic computer skills. Leader ship is out of touch and pocketing money instead of making sure that workers are properly compensated. Poorly ran institution that is always on the verge of not meeting the budget/ audit. Unsafe working environment as well as hazardous living conditions for students.
