Compensation & Benefits

Total Rewards of working at Seattle University

What makes Seattle University a great place to work? What motivates faculty and staff in striving for excellence and carrying out the mission and vision of the university? What factors keep faculty and staff engaged in the work they perform? The rewards of working at Seattle University are both intrinsic and extrinsic in nature. Key intrinsic factors are embedded within the mission, vision, and values of the university, the relationships among colleagues and students, the nature of the work performed, and the beautiful environment of SU’s campus. Extrinsic factors include opportunities for career and personal growth, one’s compensation, and a broad range of benefits, including health care, a generous 403(b) retirement contribution, and many others. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic lend to a Total Rewards program that make Seattle University a great place to work.
