Pros

I currently work for Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences IT department, and i absolutely love it here. It's been a great job while i have been in college, good pay, good experience, and management always gives you the opportunity to learn. That's what i liked most about it, i was able to sharpen my skills and learn and apply new ones.

Cons

None that i can say

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

Great Benefits, Vacation, Sick Days, Personal Days

Cons

parking is normally far away from your building, and normally growth within your unit is difficult, so you have to tranfer to another to grow.
