Business Outlook

Pros

The best part of working at Utah State University is for the most part schedules are very flexible. Utah State offers a variety of positions. The benefits package is pretty good, I think this is to make up for lower salaries. Cache Valley is a beautiful area and draws in people and provides all year round recreation.

Cons

Low pay compared to other parts of nation. The turnover rate is very low, salaried positions do not open up very often and as such advancement opportunities do not present themselves as often as in other sectors. Some inter-departmental politics need to be eliminated.
