Pros

The staff are generally friendly, and so are the students! Tuition benefit is nice, but they don't extend benefits to partners like the state schools.

Cons

I had a little bit of flexibility taking classes, but the senior management never made it easy. Low pay compared to all other universities. The employee benefits got more and more expensive on my end/ worse for the employee during my years there. The senior management is pretty dysfunctional, and I'm amazed they haven't been sued yet. They are very distrustful of good employees. At one point the HR lady asked me what prescriptions I was on. She also asked my former boss if she was married and had children, during her interview. I've heard they have a better HR person now, who actually knows the HR standards.

Pros

Some of the people there are nice, and I still talk to to this day. Benefits such as health, dental, visions were good as well as tuition for employees being covered in full and a huge benefit.

Cons

This position specifically has a lot of moving parts, I haven't seen many universities where students accounts is maintained by one person making between $24-29 an hour and your responsible for weekly student refunds, monthly student billings, monthly collections, daily student postings to the SIS system and then having to turn around and post to a separate accounting system because the two don't integrate with each other. Daily phone calls/emails from the student body. Not to mention you are also responsible for year end 1098t review, distribution, and IRS upload. Honestly this is just touching the surface of your responsibilities.
