Pros

Whether you have a positive experience or negative experience at Penn State all depends on which department you end up in. For the most part, Penn State offers a very nice work-life balance and there are lots of opportunities for professional development.

Cons

Low salary, political. Easy to get lost in the system.

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.

Pros

Great Benefits, Vacation, Sick Days, Personal Days

Cons

parking is normally far away from your building, and normally growth within your unit is difficult, so you have to tranfer to another to grow.
