Pros

Generous leave and great benefits, especially with the 75% discounted tuition for the employee, their spouse, and/or dependents.

Cons

The pay for this position varies widely. My initial offer was a bit insulting but I was able to negotiate to a rate I was more comfortable with. However, after nearly three years in a position where I’ve been asked to take on additional responsibilities, my raise requests have been denied by someone in HR who has no idea who I am, what I look like, or what I do and contribute each day.

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.
