Pros

The work was interesting and there was always the opportunity to continue learning. Depending on the supervisor, flexible work schedule was great. Ability to amass an incredible amount of vacation and sick leave.

Cons

Poor (dysfunctional) management. Attitude of coworkers/supervisors was difficult to deal with at times-liked to talk about others coworkers/supervisors that were not present .

Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear you encountered a negative experience with VDL management. Our Employee Relations department is always available to assist employees with a wide range of workplace issues, including those you mentioned, for current employees. We are also implementing K-State Supervisory Foundations - training for all supervisors across the university - which will be fully operational in March of 2019 to reduce issues as you mentioned moving forward. Thank you for your feedback and 3+ years service to the university. K-State wishes you the best of luck with your future endeavors!
