Vantaggi
- Most administrative positions are extremely easy and work-life balance is very strong. - Benefits are decent (good healthcare options, 403b match is 10% on 3%) but have declined (tuition reimbursement dropped from 100% to 90%). - Job security is extremely high. - Most positions can be hybrid.
Svantaggi
- Salaries have declined from poor, pre-pandemic, to abysmal. Not competitive within higher ed, let alone the job market at large. - As a result, we struggle to hire and countless positions remain unfilled since nobody wants to take such low pay in a fairly still-strong job market. - Few professional development opportunities exist (outside of using the tuition benefit to get a degree and leave) and most employees won't see much room for advancement.
