      "Senior administration is made up of mostly older, white men surrounded by yes-men and women because they cannot tolerate being challenged. Also, because this is a large, public university, most decisions are politically-driven. This creates an environment lacking in creativity and innovation, despite how things are spun by the marketing and communications department. There is constant turnover with the brightest talent running off, leaving people who are willing to settle for mediocrity and ride it out to retirement. Despite great success by all metrics during the pandemic, as of 2022, work-from-home (which is still referred to as telecommuting, lol) and flexibility in general have been reined in tightly. Managers are not able to approve even the smallest exceptions that would benefit the institution. The only thing they have going for them is job security, but that may change as the four-year degree becomes less of an asset."

      "UGA is great compared to the other employment options in the Athens community. Unfortunately, it lags behind many businesses and institutions nation-wide in pay and culture. Staff turnover for educated employees is high--great people are often poached by other organizations with better pay and flexible work schedules."

      "We don't have maternity leave. You must utilize your acrued leave (which is generous) and short term disability. Also, as a state institution, we don't have great pay. Most women my age (30) aren't able to afford a child with our salaries yet."
