Pros

"Great" football team? The campus looks okay?

Cons

LSU is the largest player/employer in the area so if you are forced to live there, I suppose there is no other option. If you have a choice though, DO NOT WORK HERE!! This place is so stuck in the past. From operating systems to the mentality of the employees/management. If you get a job consider yourself stuck in that job/department unless you know someone in the department you want to move to. If not, you are out of luck...no matter how many times you apply for other positions. A majority of the employees are older and have been working for LSU for many, many years. As a result they do not and will not welcome change. Yes, the "good ole' boy" mentality runs rampant here. Whatever salary you accept at the time of hire be prepared to have it for as long as you work at LSU. IF there is any sort of pay increase, it will be minimal. There is an wire of departments only looking out for itself and not willing to work with our assist other departments unless given a specific directive. One star is too generous for this place. If I could have given it no stars, I would have.

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.
