      Golden Handcuffs

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits of working at Baylor University are fantastic--generous PTO, solid retirement options, etc. Working for a good cause has a lot of intrinsic value & benefits.

      Cons

      The salary is standard "Education" pay, and that can be difficult if you're trying to raise a family of 4. Additionally, Baylor has a problem with keeping base salaries the same over 10+ year periods without increasing the base pay to address inflation. At some point "Good paying jobs" become "bad paying jobs" by this factor alone. Also, be aware that the same title in one department can be paid significantly less or more in another department.

      Generous Benefits

      Assistant director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generous time vacation time and sick leave, 403(b) contributions, and tuition remission.

      Cons

      Salary increases do not keep up with inflation. Additionally, there are no annual bonuses, stock options, and there's little financial incentive "to work smarter not harder" because of the required "8am-5pm" office structure and limited remote work. Additionally, much of HR's view of your salary is wrapped up in your "overall compensation" meaning your 403(b), etc.

      A Mixed Bag (Unless You're Tenured)

      Lecturer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of resources available (library research, exercise facilities, cafeterias, etc) even to lowly adjuncts and grad students. Adjunct pay is good (for what it is). Nice campus and by-&-large friendly people. Certain (younger) faculty are wonderful and helpful. Lots of activities, guest speakers, festivals, and conferences to appeal to intellectually curious learners.

      Cons

      For those on the bottom of the hierarchy, you're treated as disposable grunts. No guarantee of classes even if you request them and if you have a higher degree than someone who's been there longer. Entrenched faculty are very coddled and able to dictate their desired courses, and little oversight for some grad faculty means they can really screw you over if they are negligent, incompetent, or malicious.
