Great place for those with no ambition - Research Administrator Rice University Employee Review

Zero upward mobility. There is literally no development program for staff. Once you are in a job, that's your job, with no promotion or raise until you get a new job. I work as a research admin, which is a fancy name for "personal secretary" for a tenured faculty member. If you have any desire to learn new skills and to grow your career, do not work at Rice. Public universities pay much higher rates than Rice.
