Pros
Friendly, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Great rural location with lots of dining/lunchtime options. Managers trust employees and do not micro-manage. Opportunities for learning new tasks and hopping between departments to get comprehensive experience. Company is always improving and competing. Management is very receptive and encouraging of new ideas from all employees. Management are open (and seem to prefer) to hire less experienced employees who show potential. This makes Carnegie a great launching pad for a career, or a comfortable long-term situation. Working with Higher Education is greatly rewarding, as results and personal testimonials from students, counselors, and institutions flow freely and warm the heart!
Cons
Salary is mediocre (but not meager.) PTO and benefits are the same, mediocre, but for a small company, I'm not sure what is average. Expectations to be social and to "fit in" are very high. This creates a fun and "family" atmosphere, but can be off-putting to more introverted employees.
