Pros

I enjoy working with the public and helping them get the direction, assistance, and instruction that they need. I enjoy learning new things and making sure the office runs smoothly.

It was unfortunate that the funding for the program I was in was limited. That was the downfall of my employment with this establishment.

A University with passion for their students

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with. Great that after 6 months, you can start getting your bachelor's or master's degrees for free! The passion that the faculty have for their students and the fields that they work in is really evident everyday. Everyone works really hard to make a difference.

Cons

Sometimes the passion that we have for accessible education leads to long hours and limited budgets. There are times when the staff and faculty are over worked and under appreciated, but when you see the others around you working just as hard as you are, you realize that you're not alone. The work that we do here is inspiring when you think of the lives that we touch and enhance everyday.
