Pros
Without a doubt, the greatest thing about UCO is the time off. Starting at an accrual of 15 days a year for Vacation and 15 days for sick leave, there is more than enough time off.
Cons
The pay isn't incredible competitive.

Pros
Great benefits. Good salary and vacation time. Closed most holidays and snow days.
Cons
More emphasis needs to be placed on an active student and credit hour acquisition staff. Currently, this university is still stuck in the by gone era of tabling and awaiting applications. Other institutions are much more proactive in he acquisition of students.

Pros
Great values and positive place to work. A university that makes it easy to get behind its mission. Good benefits and holiday scheduling make up for higher ed pay scales.
Cons
Like many other higher ed institutions, UCO contends with tighter budgets than ever before. This leads to less positions being created or refilled, and it can cause a strain on the workload for remaining employees.
Advice to Management
Find ways to make your employees sincerely feel valued, and this goes beyond pay raises . Many employees will want to get behind your mission and will continue to work hard if they feel truly valued. If they are feeling undervalued and overworked, they will be more likely to leave for better pay or less stress.
