Pros

Benefits are okay, take advantage of free course credits!!

Cons

Hit an miss, there are some terrible managers in this organization and toxic work environments are often left unchecked. Please vet who you’ll be working for and what they’ve promised you before accepting anything!!! This place can be great and it can be absolutely horrible. Just depends who you work for. That these I consistencies exist is a big red flag on HR and the Ombuds office. In short, CU as a workplace is nothing like CU as a university presents itself. I came in a student, bamboozled by the high standards, only to be crushed by the horrendous conditions “behind the curtain.” If you expect Ivy-league standards, please expect to be sorely disappointed!

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
