                    Good work-life balance, easy jobs for the most part, relatively flexible schedule

                    Cons

                    Complete lack of respect and dignity for student workers depending on where you work. No single job is universal, meaning the total hours you can work depend on the location you work at. Current designation pays me significantly less that what any other person could live off of, no maximum hours increase per week so I'm stuck working 20 hours and slightly better than minimum wage. Maintenance that was scheduled months ago has not been done to the building. Management choices are sub-par at best (I work in a service part of the uni dealing with public customers face-to-face with software and hardware only accessible in the location and my boss, who is frequently needed, is able to work remote for some reason) and constantly changing without warning. Events management does not communicate clearly or effectively leading to last minute events that students have to scramble to set-up and prepare for, and parking situation is horrible.

                      Senior Digital Strategist

                      Is it common to get past all 5-6 interviews with all positive feedback to just be left on read? I'm trying to be patient since Turkey5 just happened in the CPG world, but also super antsy to know why they haven't given me any updates (since 11/17).

                      Underwriter

                      Is it ok to apply for another position for the same company if I am already currently in the interview process for another position with the company? I feel the recruiter has ghosted me for the current interview since the job posting shows filled on the site but my status in workday is still open.

                      Two situations, what do I do?: 1. Recruiter A reached out yesterday to tell me I’m invited to round 3 interview. I did not get an invite to accept - do I email and ask for it or wait? 2. Recruiter B said she would call me today at 10:30 because I told her I’m available all day. It’s almost noon and still no call. Do I wait? How long?
