Current Employee – been working at Central Connecticut State University

Pros – I worked as a CO-OP for the organization for 6 months. My pay was $16/hr. My boss and all the management above him were easy to get a hold of and talk to. I did not receive benefits but my co-workers who were full time employees received great benefits.

Cons – I saw no problems being a CO-OP. Politics within the organization seemed a bit frustrating as a full-timer.

Advice to Senior Management – To keep doing what you are doing.

Current Employee – been working at Central Connecticut State University

Pros – Small school with sufficient resources for a wide range of scholarly activity. Most departments have a good support system to allow for professional growth and help with new classes.

Cons – Too expensive and/or dangerous to live in surrounding communities, and not compensated accordingly.
Expect $1000+ rent, $500+ heating, high taxes, Expensive Benefits, etc.
Benefits and pay don't start until start of second month.

Advice to Senior Management – Survey cost of living to pay accordingly. Start pay and benefits immediately - don't let your new hires go broke their first semester. Create a new hire package that provides information on communities that includes housing costs, school information, crime statistics, and commute to CCSU.
