Pros

Good flexibility, opportunity to make connections with people in department, opportunity to continue work even after I graduated, and opportunity to be involved on a project that is important to me.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive, no benefits, et cetera - but this is just freelance work I do in addition to other full-time work/graduate school, so I can't complain too much.

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.
