Pros

great benefits, nice campus, free tuition

Cons

direct supervisor was unprofessional and had never managed staff before, he needed an assistant but he first needs an anger management course and instruction on how to lead a team.

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
