GREAT COMPANY

Pros

The salary, the benefits and the people who work there. I have been working at Montclair state university for 2 years and it’s by far the best job I’ve ever had. My boss is very laid back and doesn’t micromanage his team. My hours are flexible and the work is rewarding, knowing that I am helping the university and students.

Cons

Very political, and some people get away with doing very little work.

Some Good, Some Bad, Strange Culture for me

Pros

Lots of interaction with a diverse campus community, you will be forced to meet a lot of people and frequently engage with them (and that's a good thing!), teamwork is valued and coworkers can become close friends, you definitely learn and grow a lot doing this. Free housing is nice, but don't do it just for that. It's not an easy job. It's not too too hard either, but it's not something you should just plainly show up for. Being there for the residents and them really looking up to you as a role model is the most rewarding aspect of the job imo

Cons

you're often expected to be constantly enthusiastic, you are expected to adopt a lot of the Residence Life department's values (feels a little like brainwashing; they definitely want you to be a very specific kind of excited person). There's a constant demand to be the RA persona. Also, most of the upper supervisors are straight crazy, and many supervisors in general are actively looking for new jobs.
