Do not value their employees
Personal Banker at Wells Fargo for 16yrs (Former Employee), Palm Beach Gardens –
Begin with Huddle to discuss day/ week. Everyone is unhappy with their job and the lack of motivation. Constant micro managment. Unattainable goals. Toxic enviornment.

Great workplace to learn skills
Admin Assist Coord II - Special Event Planning (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA –
Pros: great place to learn, private university school, understand new policies
USC has given me great skills and opporuntiy to learn new concepts in Business, Education/University Policies, Health Care, and Administrative guidelines. Everyday, I learned something new with the systems, customer service with vendors, staff or students. Got to understand the way USC is one the best employment opportunities in Forbes Magazine. In – more...  each department it was something different in customer services, general business administrative duties, communication, leadership, deadlines, and much more. I really thank the department of Facilities Event Planning Department for the knowledge and really grounding me to the level, I never had. The experience in department will always be treasured in my heart and work etiquette with staff and faculty. – less

Fun place to learn

At the Keck School of Medicine at the USC, I am able to proactively learn about the care of which Anesthesiologists take part in. All physicians and technicians are more than welcoming and have no problems teaching those who are interested.

USC is great but STEER CLEAR of the LIBRARY
Library employee (Current Employee), Within the Library unit –
Pros: everything about the university as a whole
Cons: the library unit and its leadership.
The university is a great place to work as long as you do not accept a position within the Library unit. The unit head has been referred to as toxic by former employers, former co-workers, former and current employees, etc. The unit is mismanaged and currently filled wih extremely unhappy employees.

Truthful – February 6, 2012

This department at this facility is a joke! Management does not check what is going on with their crew. Management for this department are also subcontracted by a company that has no realtion to the school.
