Queens University of Charlotte

What is the best part of working at the company?
Beautiful campus, everyone there was a “learner” and open to new ideas, diverse staff

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It really didn’t have to be stressful.  Once covid hit, my micro managing boss made it way more stressful than it should have been. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is nice.  Beautiful offices, plenty of parking, plenty of days off. I’m not sure I can comment on the current culture. I only spent about a year with the current President, and that was covid, so I don’t think I saw him in the way he is probably seen now. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Park, walk across the beautiful campus, then work with the students to ensure they are getting the most out of their Queens educational experience.

I'll be honest ~ I love Queens University. Perhaps I'm a little biased since I was a student there, but I honestly don't know if you can find a better group of people in the Charlotte area. Unfortunately, people are only so much of a benefits package. What good is it to enjoy the people you work with if you aren't getting quality benefits or a competitive wage? Those are the main reasons I'm looking for employment elsewhere. Due to a lack of student applications, my job has been downsized to part-time of part-time. That means ZERO benefits. 

So, be wary of working for Queens. They'll promise you the moon and stars, but all it surmounts to is lip service unless you have it in writing.

Work life balance is great here. Very flexible, lots of built-in time off (comes with working in education). Great benefits and wellness incentives that give employees great discounts on health insurance. Downside is that the pay is typically average to low and not a whole lot of room for advancement. Came here right out of college and Queens has been great as a first job. Best part of the job, aside from work-life balance, is the people. Queens is a small and tight-knit community. I have interacted with most everyone on campus atleast once and 99% of interactions have been very positive and friendly.

I would come in and check emails.  I would pay invoices, set up meetings with the Dean from faculty and students.  I learned how to do a lot of administrative activities and how to communicate better.  My supervisor (the Dean) was great.  Very helpful and nice and never showed anger towards anyone and was always willing to work towards a solution along with all of my other co-workers.  Hardest part was getting thrown into the fire the first day I started.  I really had no training. The most enjoyable thing was knowing I was going to get off at 5 and was able to have a life outside of work.

Over the past year the turnover of seasoned employees (especially staff) is very high.  The university does not seem to understand what staff needs in funding and budgeting is a nightmare.  The most impressive opportunities are new graduates or employees willing to make less work hard but have tuition assistance for advanced degrees or for their children.

Typical day at work includes managing day to day operations around team competitions, practices, and training. Oversight of personnel and compliance within NCAA guidelines. Partner with national and conference office regarding program schedules. Interact with professors, deans, senior leadership, and university president. Work with third party vendors. Special event planning and donor related engagement. Responsible for department budget.

Queens was once a great place to work. However, through poor executive decisions and increasing enrollment pressure, it has become a horrible place to work. They do not care about individuals at all. My manager was overwhelmed and irrational at times. There is so much pressure because if they don't hit enrollment goals,  budgets are slashed. Queens is trying to do too much and be too many things for such a small school. It results in overworked staff and burnout.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Faculty Team - Awesome!!!!!!!
Talented, Encouraging 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Parking... the parking deck is outdated and dark

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stress-free, Friendly, Professional 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The students are great, they are committed and eager to learn

I worked at Queens Univeristy for several years in the business office as their Coordinator of Benefits and Payrolls. Loved working with the faculty and staff. Have lovely traditions of chapel on Wednesdays and Tea on Tuesdays for staff and students.

First and foremost, I love working at the bookstore. My manager is great and she really does do her best to respect that I am a student on an entirely different schedule. Because you do work at a school, there are going to be days that demand more out of you that other days. I suggest always being prepared to come in and work, as most employees believe that this job will be easy and not require much work from you. Trust me, there are demanding days.
