Business outlook
Pros
12 hours paid vacation every month, plus 8 hours sick leave. Great benefits. Actually believes in the concept of professional development - people in my office are always taking time off for training seminars and software user group meetings. Since PSU is an educational institution, you know that you're working towards something positive Generally laid back (people in my department wear shorts and t-shirts to work)
Cons
Since it's an academic environment, there are definitely office politics. Management styles vary - Employees in my department love their jobs, but some of them were hired from other departments where they were miserable. Living in a college town can be very, very exhausting
