Barnard College

Is this your company?

It appears that Barnard is either firing or forcing anyone over 40 out of the organization - Anonymous employee Barnard College Employee Review

Pros

Location Work Environment Culture It's always nice to work in an environment that has greenery

Cons

This is no longer a company one can grow with. Anyone over 40 is being pushed out and replaced by younger, less experienced workers just to save a few bucks and the organization as a whole is suffering. Fraudulent performance reviews are created for the sake of a paper trail to create the false pretense for dismissal. The first sign that something bad was on the horizon was when President Spar made the comment on how she was amazed how many workers at Barnard have been here for so long

Pros

Kind and supportive community of employees who started at Barnard prior to current administration. Good work life balance. Excellent vacation benefits. Other benefits have been great but health insurance much more expensive.

Cons

Leadership is toxic and cruel. Mass firings last year that has tanked morale and we haven’t fully recovered. Very high turnover. Senior management doesn’t seem to understand how things work or what everyone does. They try to come up with solutions to issues without asking for staff expertise. Very hierarchical. Feels less like a college and more like a corporation.
