Pros

Northeastern's commitment to safety, aesthetics and ergonomics at its premises is promising. Offices, even cubicles are designed in a fashion so as to not choke you out during your work hours.

Cons

The so-called NU shuffle affects the regular staff as well. There is a lot of running back and forth where employees at an administrative level will just turn you away or give you the cold shoulder.
