Business Outlook

Pros

Holidays are the highlight of higher education! No overtime, evenings, or weekends.

Cons

OSU-OKC is perpetually understaffed in all student support areas (Admissions, Registrar, Financial Aid) leading to increased workload. Constant turnover leads to inconsistency regarding policy & procedures. The Registrar position has remained vacant for nearly an entire year with no urgency from leadership to fill the position. Pay is low, and pay increases are infrequent.
