Pros

At FSU, you are around some very interesting and intelligent coworkers. Mostly, it's a relaxed atmosphere. The students coming and going mean that there are always new and interesting people to know. The institution has reasonable computer network support, and benefits similar to other government positions.

Cons

Salaries below the commercial sector. There is very limited chance for advancement unless you are an academic. There are multiple examples of senior employees who have very limited real-world experience. Salaries are currently frozen a the university. The University has very limited capabilities for working from home. There is no accessible VPN. Parking is a nightmare.

Pros

I had a job and could read my books/draw during down time.

Cons

Horrible management. Incredibly aloof staff that does not take POC employees seriously. Also, multitude of microaggressions and straight up racism, Plain attempts of treating their staff without compassion and also putting their staff and students in harm's way during FSU's 2025 school shooting. Staff was told to keep working during an active shooting and even after people had been pronounced dead. This is not simply a testing center issue but a systematic concern of FSU's departments. Pay is also mediocre and only went up recently because of consistent complaints from the employees--not because they wanted to. Plenty of inappropriate behaviors were present while I was working there from upper management. Fawning, favoritism, power trips, blurring boundaries, etc. Parking is awful.
