Pros
ASU provides employees with excellent health benefits. As a state employee, you have a wide range of plans that fit your needs. Employees can also register to take classes at a reduced rate at the university.
Cons
With serious state budget cuts, the university is forced to make signifcant personnel cuts,, implement mandatory furloughs and cut departmental budgets. These measurements created a terrible work environment where employees feel absolutely no job security and worry whether they will make the next round of cuts. Employees must pay the full rate for parking passes, which can cost up to $700+ if you want to park near your building. Also, the pay is considerably low versus your experience and level of education. While the number of employees decreases, the amount of work remains the same, leaving remaining employees to do the job of several with no raises in sight.
