Vantaggi
- Great tuition assistance - Generous paid time off - Superior health insurance, especially for part-time employees - 35-hour workweek - In sum, great benefits and work/life balance
Svantaggi
- Very few opportunities for career advancement - Tendency to "get stuck" in the same position and grade level for many years - University attracts odd, out-of-touch faculty and staff who are not "grounded" in reality - Salaries are average to below average for similar positions in other industries - Little or no centralization; duplication of effort occurs repeatedly across different offices and units - If you are young, the University has a very grey workforce; the majority of employees are 40+ and many are within 1-10 years of retirement. As a result, the place often lacks youthful energy and fun, despite the students - Way too many meetings. This place has a meeting over everything. 4-6 hours in the 8-hour day are often spent at pointless meetings.
