Flexible hours, good benefits, fulfilling job. Friendly coworkers wanting to work together. Can pretty much make your own schedule.

Limited growth opportunity. There was not a lot of room to advance for coordinators. A lot of shifting with student counselors. Makes keeping track of things a little more difficult.
