Excellent Benefits, Poor Work Environment
Non-Exempt Employee (Current Employee) – Dover, DE 19901 – August 8, 2018
The organization does not value its employees or students. Many offices work in silos and lack collaboration. Faculty, secretarial staff, and custodial staff are unionized. Professional employees are At-Will and are frequently abused by their managers due to this status. The office of human resources does little to remedy areas that have low retention rates for staff and needs to conduct leadership training for its leadership. Students do not have adequate housing and their concerns are unheard by administration. Many of the courses students need are often unavailable during registration periods.
Pros
Educational Benefits for FT Employees, Beautiful Campus
Cons
Unprofessional Work Culture, Top Heavy Institution, Antiquated Work Practices

Resident Director (Current Employee) – Dover, DE – June 3, 2018
DSU is an amazing institution, ran by student-oriented, passionate individuals. Departments like Housing and the Office of Student Leadership & Activities are the throbbing hearts of the institution.

Productive and Daring
Testing Assistant (Former Employee) – Dover, DE – May 21, 2018
The University through technology especially Office 365 has created an environment where meetings happen on the go; in-person and virtually. Collaboration and sharing of files and documents are easier and these make employees more productive.
Cons
Not all employees are comfortable with the tools made available to them.
working there
Assist Student Affairs (Former Employee) – Dover, DE – May 14, 2018
Being there with others my age was great, but I was not a fan of the time it took for them to pay us a 100 dollar stipend. Other than that it was fun meeting the incoming freshmen and informing their families on their children life at DSU for the next 4 years.

Nice job for a student
Technical Assistant/Director/Instant Replay (Former Employee) – Dover, DE – May 13, 2018
Although I learned a lot working here, the professors did not have a lot of knowledge in the areas that they were teaching. Many of them do not know how to edit videos, which is not good especially if you teach a class where editing is required. I learned a lot of how to edit on my own than any professor has ever shown me.

Productive and at times stressful environment
Head Women's Basketball Coach (Former Employee) – Dover, DE – March 1, 2018
Typical work day was watching film, planning for practices or games along with handling administrative duties. I managed all aspects of the program including, staff, players, academics as well as the budget.
What I learned most was how this generation has changed and how to relate to them to help them be more successful.
The hardest part of the job was dealing with a limited budget and changing the culture to having a winning spirit.
The most enjoyable part of the job was going everyday and watching the team grow and mature as student-athletes.
