Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE)

While at MSOE, there were some positive aspects of my time there, I ultimately left due to the challenging work environment created by a toxic leader.

The positives included working alongside some incredibly talented and dedicated students and colleagues who were genuinely committed to their work. The potential for change and improvement within the university was also evident, and there were many opportunities to make a positive impact on the organization.

Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the presence of a toxic leader. Despite filing complaints with HR, there was no action taken to address the issue. This created a stressful and uncomfortable work environment, not only for me but for several of my colleagues as well. The lack of responsiveness from HR in addressing these concerns was disheartening and left many of us feeling unheard and unsupported.

Moreover, there is a noticeable resistance to change from certain individuals within the company. This resistance hinders progress and innovation and makes it challenging to bring about positive changes within the organization. The lack of empowerment for the staff to voice their concerns and advocate for necessary changes is a significant issue that needs to be addressed.

Staff is talked down to and disregarded when it comes to fresh ideas to meet student needs and expectations. They do not want to keep up with the times. The workplace culture is incredibly toxic, and they expect staff to be available 24/7, even when not considered “on call.” They tell individuals that their personal life is not more important than their work life. Different areas have poor communication with one another, and they do not try to fix the issues. They instead complain about who isn’t doing what which leads into staff having to be available 24/7. They do not have respect for student workers either, and they see them as people they can use and talk down to rather than support them as students and young professionals. As someone who is passionate about providing superb service to students, I was deeply disappointed in the lackluster performance of staff in addressing student issues and needs. Working with students is truly the only beneficial aspect of working at the school.

When I first started there, it was fun and everyone seemed to be nice. After year 1 it became a favoritism contest. Get cool with members of management, get what you want. Be a good employee yet a free spirit on your own kinda person, you get “reprimanded”. In the 6 years of being there, I was underpaid and unappreciated. Two raises in 6 years. With whole COVID precautions, things could’ve been handled better. Students and staff both weren’t following campus wide protocols. So I felt my health and safety was in jeopardy daily. As far as telling someone to apply, it’s a definite no! Also no i wasn’t terminated, I gave a notice if you’re wondering.  Just apply somewhere else.

I felt compelled to write this to save anyone who is thinking about applying here. This had to be the worst organization I have ever worked for. The management team is vandictive, malicious, and down right digusting. They are bullies and you will be punished for everything you do. There is a high turn over rate and the work environment is depressing. They will suck you of your self confidence and happiness. Do not be fooled during the interview because if you are hired in the accounting, finance or student accounts department you will shortly see the mess I am talking about. It is not worth it!!

Enjoyed time here overall. Faculty often find themselves working weekends and evenings to keep up with demand of work and student needs. Working many summer hours while off contract brings  compensation and ethics into question. Raises don't always keep up with the cost of living, even if you do a good job so it's hard to stay committed to the university long term

This used to be an amazing environment to work in. There have been several changes in leadership which has led to decreased support, high turnover, and very insufficient pay. The company breeds a culture of employees talking behind peers backs and encouraging this through limited direction and connectedness. I do not recommend working here as your skills and pay needs are likely to no longer be valued in the way that they should. 

I analyzed the effect of bending and torsion on an orthotic CAD model through the utilization of ANSYS Workbench and 3D modeling software package across a variety of different engineering materials. I was approached by professor to demonstrate outstanding results presented to undergraduate senior design group.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and management  work together to make a difference 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing  I'm happy  all the time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A little busy  but  that's  ok 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work hard to get the job done  for the students  and family's

Good opportunity, work with educators.  Days are long and challenging but fun.  No opportunity for career advancement or growth.  The most enjoyable part of my job is the work that I do and the people in my immediate department.  The hardest part of the job is no leadership.
