Pros

Professors are great, very friendly people and welcoming most of the time. Its a small college town to focus on work.

Cons

K-state is not for International s, do not support International students or employee with anything. Management would not take extra effort to help, even though they will have to eventually update, they prefer to be the last one. They do not understand what Internationals have to do to maintain status or make things work. People outside really try to be nice, and the management slams at your face that it is mid-west and they want you out as soon as possible. Pay differ according to the department, so cannot generalize, but some departments have minimum wage.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
