WE all know that survey paper is something which gets many citations if quality is good and published at some reputable place even more citations. With the fact even the authors are not expert. But We see in many universities survey paper is not counted in publications for promotion by saying. IT IS JUST SUMMARY or others work. Is is ok to do really?
I agree with Ian... any accepted paper is a good thing... and there is a whole category for Literature Reviews if that is what you mean by Survey Papers.... and some of them are the best sources for further research study.... The other use of the term Survey at least here in the US... is that many of us do qualitative surveys of corporations to understand what they are currently doing in the market place... these initial surveys are ususally the ground work of exploring new ways of doing things in the workplace.... so just not sure what you mean by the Term Survey.... All should lead to promotions and tenure track applications...
Any accepted paper should count towards promotion, and is not to be sniffed at.
A review paper is a good place to begin. The point is that it should be an eclectic, critical review. That is, it should add something useful to our knowledge base, and not be just a "cut-and-quote". It will suggest the way forward.

Different schools have different approaches. Some may be more demanding than others.
As you develop your scholarly writing approach and specialties, it is good to know your school's standards in advance.
As long as a survey contributes to the field by giving other researchers the current state of scholarship on a question or issue, then yes, a survey should count in faculty promotions.
It is no matter if a paper is a survey, conceptual, review... as long as it is of a good quality, accepted for publication in a good journal, later on cited...
