Pros

College Spirit and atmosphere can be addictive. Events for students include staff, such as Spring Fling carnivals, etc. These events are a welcome break to the daily work load. Some offices have a family/friends type of atmosphere in and outside of work. Plenty of eating and transportation options.

Cons

Politics and Bureaucracy. Shear size can sometimes make projects difficult to get consensus and done. The 'temple runaround' when you need to get something done, it usually results in several office visits/phone calls. But this has gotten much better the past few years.

Pros

Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located campus. Great food trucks! Lots of space to go for a walk and clear your head or sit on a bench and look at some trees. Nice benefits.

Cons

Temple is very large and very siloed, so if you work in one department, don't expect to be able to move more easily to another part of the school than you would if you were just a random unknown applicant. Once you start working it will be clear which people there genuinely care about the school and passionately work to make it better, and which once just clock in and clock out and won't do a single thing that's not listed in their official job description. But that's bureaucracy for you!
