Working here you can expect to spend time laying awake at night licking your emotional wounds. HR will do nothing to help improve the bullying that comes from above."

"I've been at UVU for about five years. The pay sucks, morale is low and the benefits have put me in the hole so far that I might have to take on another job to cover my deductibles.

And IT is just now getting around to implementing mobile initiatives. I would NOT RECOMMEND working here. They are DEFINITELY NOT AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE."

"I have worked for UVU for 3 years and have worked with some of the best people in my life. The culture is relaxed and fun while also getting a lot of fulfilling work done. Media Services gets to work with new exciting technology which keeps their employees on their toes."
