Pros

Boone is a great town environment wise Highly walkable campus Students are incredible to work with and excited about their futures Other pro staff are generally kind and accepting Pay is decent for starting out in this field

Cons

Boone cost of living is absolutely extreme compared to how much folks make here, even at the school Your experience with App is entirely dependent on your supervisor. You may have someone wonderful who is flexible and is open to hybrid options, let’s you make choices, and wants you to grow, or you could get stuck with what I have (the opposite). It honestly makes the job miserable even though I love this work, and upper management will always take each others sides if you report.

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.
