Current Employee – been working at University of Connecticut full-time for more than a year

Pros – Diverse and vibrant research community. Great academic culture. Helpful support staff. Large and open campus. Close enough to Boston and New York for the weekend!

Cons – Somewhat isolated on a day to day basis with minimal social venues. Storrs is tiny but being revamped! Willimantic isn't the nicest city but has most things people would need.

Former Employee – worked at University of Connecticut part-time for more than a year

Pros – I loved working at the Student Union. You receive so many opportunities to move up in the ranks and to move around and expand your repertoire of skills. Plus, you can participate in company parties and you receive gifts.

Cons – Because the University does not run on a full year schedule (which of course is good), student employees compete for hours during non-academic periods of the year because the Union is open year-round.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep it up, I've never enjoyed working at any place so much!
