Pros

Great benefits, many opportunities for exploring different careers within the University, friendly people everywhere, possibility to work part time with full benefits

Cons

Staff salaries are on a lower side, pay raises do not reflect the cost of living increases, there have been tendency not to replace workers (retirees, for example) and distributing their workload on others; the organization is very top-heavy with many redundant high-paying positions.

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.
