Pros

Close to home, TAP program

Cons

Micromanagement and overall pettiness in the department is ridiculous. I feel like I'm back in high school with all the snitching & brown nosing that goes on. The data, spreadsheets and schedule checking is also ridiculous. Feels more like sales than advising. So much so that I'm headed into that field because at least I'll be compensated accordingly. Can I just advise my students please.

Hiring practices of certain departments is very questionable and could cross as unethical! - -Leadership is nonexistent. -It is EXTREMELY cliquish and favoritism is rampant. -Support roles are treated very poorly by higher up and other staff members. -Administrative support roles are abused and used. -Administrative support roles are abused and used. -The pay is horrific.
