Pros

Very professional, willing to help you do well at your job. Provides adequate job training. Best job on campus, hands down.

Cons

There really isn't a downside other than the low pay. However, that is mostly due to state regulations during the down economy.

Pros

Penn State offers a fabulous benefits package... including health care, retirement with matching funds, immediate tuition reduction for staff and a waiting period for spouse and children, excessive paid vacation and a flexible work schedule. There are trips to the campus for meetings and great training opportunities from top level professionals in their fields.

Cons

Not many cons to working at PSU. You do get paid once a month at the beginning of every month, so you need a good budget. There is travel throughoug the work week and for trips to State College.
