Pros

Great culture in the office, exciting place to be and work. Solid benefits package even when opting out of the state system for employees.

Cons

High volume office requires a quick learning curve and limits opportunities outside of direct daily responsibilities for additional professional development somewhat.

Pros

Decent Benefits, Nice Amounts of Time off

Cons

Staff are the lowest of the totem pole and you KNOW it. Pay not enough to live by yourself as a working adult in State College Area. Will waste your time if there's nothing to do by requiring you to sit there while faculty and admin get to "work from home" (they really don't) President Benepudi will probably give herself 2 more $1.5 million pay increases while you work there unable to afford a simple apartment by yourself.
