Vantaggi
The health benefits are amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever have health benefits like that again. I’ll miss it. They take Union members seriously. I’ve seen people get in trouble for multiple things and are still employed because of the protection they have.
Svantaggi
They know how great their benefits are so the salary is low. Being a union member is great but if something comes up like fighting for pay reimbursement, which I was a part of, takes a very long time and you’ll never get what you’re actually owed. In most departments management changes constantly. In Admissions numbers are everything and if upper management doesn’t get the numbers they need, they’ll let go of that manager. This makes for stressed out managers who take that stress out on the employees.
