Pros
Emerson College has a lot of creative, interesting, and dedicated employees. There is work/life balance for SOME departments. The mission of the school is one that is theoretically sound, but I don't know that the organization embodies the values it claims to want to instill in its student body.
Cons
They offer little to no opportunities for growth/promotions or training their talent base. Competent employees are punished by having more work thrown at them, while underperformers never get fired. It creates a culture where morale is low because there are no monetary/promotional goals to work towards. There is zero clarity around how one can move up in the organization, and this is coming from someone who has asked HR that question on several occasions, only to be met with vague non-answers. The only time I've seen anyone get promoted or offered a raise was when they threatened to quit or had another job offer in hand. At the time of this review (May 2024) the business operation of the College truly feels like a sinking ship at all levels.
