Pros

Co-workers and students are nice

Cons

Low wages. No pay increases for next three years. Everyone gets same raise when they are given; normally between 1-2 %, and those are also the years they increase insurance premiums. Parking rates increase yearly. My take home pay goes down yearly. Morale is extremely low. Job titles don’t match job description so they can pay less. Feel extremely undervalued.

Very good benefits, nice break around the holidays, and loved interactions with students.

Staff is treated way differently than faculty. Jobs change by adding more work with little to no compensation or change in job title.
