MSU is a great place to work!

Pros

Holidays are off. The campus is beautiful and the use of the rec center is a great perk. No matter which department you work in, all MSU staff is very welcoming. MSU allows you to grow in your field with continuous training and thinking of ways to make the student body successful.

Cons

Probably the worst thing at MSU is the parking, it pays to get an administrator pass so you don't have to fight for a spot in the morning.

It's Own Little Community

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of perks-extensive amount of vacation, time off between Christmas and New Years that you are off but don't apply to your vacation time. Health clinic on campus. A sense of community and energy. Tuition credit.

Cons

Compensation is low. Can be political at times with office drama that is allowed to fester. It kind of depends on the department, though.

Depends on which department you are in

Business Outlook

Pros

The university itself seems to be a great place to work and attend school, but this is dependent on which department you are located in. For instance, the biomedical sciences and other science departments seem wonderful. The college of business and the humanities college also seem to be great. The school of agriculture seems to be its own separate entity, apart from the rest of the university.

Cons

Professors and staff who are tenured. Lots of resistance to change a certain department. The only way for progress is to accept new ideas and ways of thinking and when certain professors are old and have been doing their job for so long, they become stuck in their habits.
