Pros

Prestigious job. Holidays off. Great co workers. Weak management. Highly educated, poor people skills.

Cons

Union worked for university, not its employees. Too many long time employees comfortable in their jobs. Limited advancement. Hold temporary employers for long periods of time before hiring them on permanently.

Pros

Earned my degree without going into debt. Had full tuition covered, good benefits, and a meager but livable salary.

Cons

Grossly overworked, but then again I was a graduate student. My adviser was also not very helpful in terms of my research.

Business Outlook

Pros

Since implementing specialty groups in the office - employer relations, counseling and special events - the cohesion and productivity of our team is awesome. Management also promotes professional growth for each employee to encourage expertise compatible with our interests. The Career Center is recognized and revered on campus, which management makes a point to share and celebrate with us, contributing to a sense of pride in our office. Appreciate the amount of creativeness in the team members in our office. Love the feedback from students when they are successful in their career goals as a result of my and the colleagues' efforts.

Cons

Evening programming can erode work/life balance, but assignments are pretty equitably distributed among the team. Frustrated with the process of getting vacation and offtime approved. Don't prefer the public speaking aspect, about a third of my job, but have utilized technology and company professionals to assist.
