Pros

The teaching environment is good and relaxed. Students generally know the basics of maintaining a comfortable learning atmosphere. The facility is well maintained.

Cons

There are something that can be improved besides the bad economy. There could be higher salary compare to other jobs opportunities. The badly maintained course website system is another thing that can be improved.

Pros

At FSU, you are around some very interesting and intelligent coworkers. Mostly, it's a relaxed atmosphere. The students coming and going mean that there are always new and interesting people to know. The institution has reasonable computer network support, and benefits similar to other government positions.

Cons

Salaries below the commercial sector. There is very limited chance for advancement unless you are an academic. There are multiple examples of senior employees who have very limited real-world experience. Salaries are currently frozen a the university. The University has very limited capabilities for working from home. There is no accessible VPN. Parking is a nightmare.

Pros

Free professional development. Chance to work on various committees. They do do a pretty good job of recognizing the hard work and efforts of their employees with service awards and the like.

Cons

Parking is horrible! Also, you can be stretched thin if you don't watch out. I was serving on 5 committees at on time in addition to my regular duties. That meant more time was being spent working on these sub-projects and not my day to day job. My work did suffer for it and I had to eventually let my supervisor know that I could not serve on so many committees.
