Mostly good overall, but my main complaint with Texas A&M University (Kingsville location in…read moreparticular) has to do with human resources leadership here. The university itself is actually an excellent educational institution and has diverse faculty and curriculum for those students wanting to explore different academic majors. The campus itself is also beautiful and the university system has clearly invested a lot of time and resources (and money) into beautifying the entire complex. Also, the university's handling of the Covid-19 crisis has been spot on. Employee and student safety is a big focus here. Now for the one, main negative: human resources leadership here which really isn't fair or objective. The guy in charge of human resources here (specifically, Henry Burgos) doesn't seem very caring or sincere, and instead, seems to have a really sour, haughty - almost hateful and spiteful demeanor! This guy, Henry, did absolutely nothing at all to help me resolve some very complex workplace issues which I'd brought to his attention during my employment here at this university. I won't bore you all with any of the exact or specific details centering around a lot of the continual bullying and harassment which I'd faced and experienced while working here. Those really wouldn't be all that important anyways. Suffice it to say though, that some of the very serious complaints which I'd brought to Henry Burgos' attention during my employment here including: managers tampering with employees' files, blatant breach of confidentiality, rather perverse forms of sexual harassment (including those being perpetrated by certain managers), deliberate bullying and intimidation, targeting of me as an employee, and clear retaliation (as a result of me having reported those unethical managers' behaviors in the first place) had essentially fallen on deaf ears, over and over and over again..... During my very first meeting with Henry Burgos (and this still stands out in my mind even to this day because it was SUCH obnoxiously rude and disrespectful conduct on his part to begin with, that I still cannot wrap my mind around it), this man didn't even acknowledge me for several minutes, stand up to shake my hand, extend a warm or welcoming greeting to me as any other true HR professional would do, or thank me for coming to his office to meet with him, et cetera. None of that type of cordial, warm, professional, engaging behavior which you'd expect in a true HR professional had ever been extended to me, by Henry. And in fact, for several minutes during that very first meeting with him, I distinctly remember Henry deliberately ignoring me, staring down at his work phone, typing away feverishly on the phone's keypad, and then finally (as if he were doing me some sort of honor or granting me a favor which was worthy of his time), finally had the decency to 'usher' me into his office to record my employment complaint. Honestly, it had felt so weird and awkward, me just standing there in this stranger's office without even being acknowledged or politely greeted, a definite first for me in my lifetime. I'd never been treated that way by any other human being, prior to this encounter with him. But anyways, that was what my very first (of many future) negative interactions with him had entailed. Aside from that however, were also some of the really rude (downright mean-spirited) types of e-mail messages which he used to frequently send back to me, typically, in response to me checking on the status of my workplace grievance, ability to transfer to another department with a different manager to essentially break free of this perpetual harassment, et cetera. Some of those e-mails had been so curtly and disrespectfully worded, that the naieve optimist in me still doesn't believe to this day that they'd actually been written by a "human resources professional" in the first place. LOL. Yet the worst part of my employment here at Texas A&M Kingsville was Henry Burgos' categorical refusal to offer me any type of assistance whatsoever, with respects to my workplace grievance. All my complaints, like I'd indicated above, routinely fell on deaf ears (his) over and over again, without even the slightest iota of assistance being provided from him in "human" resources to me, as a human employee. There's a lot more negative stuff which I could include about human resources leadership here at this university. However, since the character count here on my Yelp review might be running out of space, let me just wrap this up by saying that overall, this is a great university in most regards and respects, EXCEPT for their human resources leadership (Kingsville site, specifically) which in all honesty, I personally feel isn't even halfway qualified to be in a "human" resources leadership capacity, to begin with. Quite honestly, with fresh, new HR leadership here, this would probably have the potential to become one of the best universities in all of Texas.

I was a current freshman at tamuk, As so far as the school goes it has been a horrible experience…read more The financial is never organized in such as needing loans or even applying for scholarships that I had applied for but was never granted at all. They can't keep track of records such as, transcripts when you request one or even score the UPD has nothing to do but, give citations try to imitate other students, such as African americans. All in all the professors were good and were very supportive helping taking a huge step in the degree to pursue in. The campus is so poor and trashy maintance is never their to help, so make sure you know somebody in mind! As far as the school most collages do come free use of washer and dryer for laundry but, as for tamuk you have to pay which is unfair. It should already be part of tuition and the school is mostly populated with Hispanics , the culture is very different. So be ready to adapt young African Americans are stared even looked at they criticize about our presence and look at us like shit! Sorry I could only give yall only one star, I don't there was a button for no stars.
