Pros

Positions are stable, there are many openings all over the university if you decide to change jobs, great benefits (especially vacation days and retirement), wonderful small town to live in.

Cons

Management is mostly people who have been there for ages, so not a lot of management skill or expertise, new ideas are slow to take off, still too much small town mentality for my preference.

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.
