Pros

If you enjoy working with and helping college students, their families and giving presentations this job was great.

Cons

The pay is painfully low. Especially, for positions requiring a Master's Degree. As a single mom I could not support my family. Bloomington campus controls wages and salaries and they think the cost of living is very low here. South Bend's cost of living is the same as Indianapolis's. I know because I have lived both places.
