Disappointing lack of appreciation - Anonymous employee Mercer University Employee Review

Pros

The collegial atmosphere among faculty is above average. There are service opportunities available that are personally rewarding even if they will not advance or even guarantee an academic career at the university.

Cons

Management decisions are not people-centered. Job security is based on enrollment, especially for full-time temporary (non-tenure track) employees, so doing extra work in service to the college/university does not seem to have any bearing on whether or not a contract will be renewed. Opportunities for research are practically non-existent.
