Pros

Wonderful staff— I love all my supervisors. It's a great atmosphere with lovely (brand new) facilities. The responsabilities are easy enough with a light workload.

Cons

It's a desk job so some days you feel as though you're doing nothing and other days it's super busy and callers are rude, but a professional staff member is always on hand to help you out.

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
