Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at Utah Valley University?

"I don't like that I don't feel valued. It seems like the departments think of my as a filler for teaching the classes they have instead of as a valuable member of the faculty. The school also has a rule about how many classes I can teach, which limits my earning potential especially because it is a really low number of classes."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"It would be great if management asked for feedback (anonymously, of course), and then actually took that feedback into account. Academia is really old school, and it would be nice to shake things up and make things better."
