Pros

Schedule and flexibility is great. Working at the University keeps a person young. Good gym, sports and swimming facilities. Plenty of cultural events.

Cons

The central administration gives too much deference to the colleges which compete for resources rather than work together. The University has consistently raised the rate for parking and food at a rate much greater that raises.

Pros

lab sizes are 24 students and less

Cons

it was challenging dealing with the student reviews online. not enough students would complete reviews and the results would be skewed. Also not enough guidance on what to teach/standardizing quizzes and how to grade

Pros

The employees are kind and helpful. They make the time spent in the office enjoyable. This environment is the only reason I've stayed here for as long as I have.

Cons

The pay structure is weak for a State school. Their financial management on the small and large scale is wasteful and frivolous. Parking is atrocious and you are forced to buy a Parking Permit from the school for approx. $300+ and the price continues to grow. There are no benefits for student positions (as expected) and the recognition of excellent service is minimal at best.
