The staff are great to work with. The time off given between Christmas and New Years is nice.

Too much office politics. The salary is way low compared to what is asked of you. The leadership is intimidating and unpleasant to work with.

Pros

First, you get paid around 8.50, which is higher than minimum wage in florida. There's a lot of down time in a shift. You do 5 set of rounds throughout the evening and log stuff. Not much heavy duty work there. The rigor of your work depends on when and where you are stationed for the night. You'll find a lot less work in McCollum on a Tuesday than Wildwood on a Saturday. The student supervisors and head staff are wonderful. The supervisors are extremely warm, kind, and knowledgable. They're your backup if things get too crazy for you and they will follow through. Head Staff is great as well. They are very prompt in return calls and emails and will follow up with you to ensure everything is well. You meet many new people. I've made friends with many RAs and even some residents who are up as well. The resident life in the halls you supervise will make or break your experience as night staff. This is a customer service position so you'll pick up a lot of face time with residents, guest, cops, parents, administrators, etc. This job will definitely test your confrontational skills.

Cons

Nine hours shift will burn you out after a while. 10:30pm-7:30am. It best to make sure you get some sleep before work or you'll have a bad time. Resetting yourself is pretty difficult. Although supervisors are really friendly, some won't go on their set of rounds to each of the halls. Things get lonely at 3 and 4 in the morning, and you still have a few hours to go. There's just night staff, then supervisor. No other promotion opportunities.
