Pros

Good pay, flexible hours, and once you've been on board for a while you have plenty of autonomy. If you have technical knowledge you should absolutely try to apply for this position while studying at Penn State Behrend.

Cons

Kind of frustrating having Main Campus rule over every one and every thing. Sometimes you'll have a simple quick and cheap solution to a problem and will get ham stringed by University bureaucracy. Just the nature of the beast I guess.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
