University of Minnesota Employee

"Saint Mary's University aspires to be a great place to work... Unfortunately, they often fall short of their goal. Compensation is weak. Without a large endowment, salary increases depend on meeting student recruitment goals. It's not uncommon to go years without raises. Those who question processes or plans are often chastised, sometimes publicly, or even released. Morale is very low."
