The students are why I've stayed this long - University Program Associate Appalachian State Employee Review

Pros

I love working with the students. It's not for the appreciation, but it is nice to know that someone appreciates the amount of time I (and my colleagues) put in. The student body is growing constantly, but working in more of a student-support role means I still get to develop relationships with students, get to know them, and have them trust that I have their best interests in mind.

Cons

Entirely out of touch leadership in my department. We are not living in the same reality (or tax bracket) as each other. The work-life balance in my department is good and I can leave work at work, but the stress? Unable to leave that in the office.

Pros

People are nice generally, but I find that to be true only the lower down the hierarchy you go.

Cons

Leadership, especially the closer you get to the upper administration, tends to be wildly out of touch, has little to no supervisory skill, and seems to lack basic human compassion.
