Pros

Your experience can really vary depending on what department you work in. My experience was not that bad because I worked under a very good business manager that ran the business side of the department very well. I learned a lot about grant management. If you have a positive attitude and treat people with respect, you'll do well. Benefits are also pretty good.

Cons

Some coworkers can gossip a lot and cause an uncomfortable work environment. Pay can also be on the low side compared to other universities in the tri-state area. Especially if you move around internally vs being hired from the outside. Your experience will heavily depend on the department that you work in. This can be a bad thing because if the department is poorly run, your work life will become very unpleasant.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
