Pros

ERAU provides a decent work environment that provides good benefits, awesome coworkers, a 4-day work week during summer, and opportunities for extra-curricular activities and leadership development training opportunities.

Cons

A lot of coworkers complain about management and managerial decisions, opportunities for promotion or advancement are not very common.

Pros

ERAU-Prescott campus has great benefits and a focus on work-life balance for employees. Like most organizations, your experience will vary widely depending on what department you work in and who your supervisor is. Since the campus is so small, there is a lot of room to develop the scope of your own position and to collaborate on projects across campus. For better or worse, you will know just about everyone. So long as you meet minimum expectations, you get a yearly cost of living adjustment and get more paid vacation days than I've received in other places (i.e. Christmas Eve through New Years plus all federal holidays; 3-day weekends all summer).

Cons

Because there is so much latitude in most jobs, you may be frustrated at the lack of direction in your position or lack of clear expectations. While the chancellor is great, some senior leadership have be known to send condescending communications and value output over employee experience. If you want to go above and beyond, there is very limited career mobility since many people want to retire from their current position. Raises are solely linked to cost-of-living, not to performance. There is a stunning lack of diversity among campus leadership. Very few women and no POC in managerial positions. The campus itself is incredibly conservative, which may be frustrating to those with a liberal political or social orientation. Professional development opportunities are haphazard at best; you will need to articulate and advocate for yourself in order to pursue development opportunities.

Pros

Helping the students is the best part. There are a lot of good people who still work for the company, though most are going elsewhere now.

Cons

Long hours, terrible pay, kiss family life goodbye. RUDE employees in other departments. Too many bosses not enough workers. High turnovers have started, volatile upper echelon, with no stability.
