Pros

Awesome work environment, great benefits and extra perks such as bonus structure and money added to your passport card every semester for food and other items. The campus is unreal. Almost like working in a resort that happens to hold classes. The management staff seems genuinely invested in the success of the students and institution.

Cons

Parents and students can be very rude and condescending towards staff when it comes to payment and tuition issues. Often treated like an illiterate hillbilly by some parents that call or visit because of their 1% status. Interdepartmental relations could be better.

Pros

Work is important, dynamic and fulfilling at HPU. Pace is quick and changes daily, so there is never a dull moment. But staff are also supported, guided and yet given autonomy and room for creativity. Those who want new opportunities will find them here.

Cons

You need to be flexible. That is not bad - just means it isn't for everyone if you cannot change and adapt quickly.

Pros

Feels like you are contributing to important work. The entire community cares about student success and enhancing the experience for students as they learn. extra perks like $ on company ID card for meals, etc (like a debit card). Bonus when institution does well. Monthly staff meetings keep everyone informed on the direction of the school and allows staff to recognize each other. I like that culture of teamwork. I know there are similar meetings with faculty and the auxilliary workers.

Cons

parking is challenging - they have growth of students and faculty/staff.
