Pros

loved the work i did and loved working with the students.

Cons

Administration sucks and does not care about you. Horrible wages and they completely over work their graduate students for cheap labor. I called the suicide hotline at my office because I was so mentally unwell, they really do not care. I've seen multiple full time staff complain about the students and neglect them even though that is the whole point of working on a college campus. I will never recommend.

Pros

Benefits covered 90% of my healthcare needs. The time-off and work-from-home policies were flexible and allowed me to meet my military requirements.

Cons

The salary policy did not guarantee advancement for low-level employees. You are guaranteed a merit raise each year, but you cannot receive a salary raise within the same six-month period. If an Unclassified employee reaches the maximum of their pay scale, they will no longer receive a merit raise. A department supervisor must approve any pay scale increase. The appeal process takes longer than most are willing to accept.
