Pros

Penn State has a Great Benefit Package! and there is the ability to have a decent balance between work and life.

Cons

Fixed salaries is a big negative and there is hardly ever room for a salary increase. Having a good boss will definitely help you in the long run.

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.
