Colorado State University

Is this your company?

I have enjoyed working here over the past 13 years, but there are many improvements that could easily be made. - Research Associate II Colorado State University Employee Review

Pros

A lot of vacation time. Opportunities to interact and mentor students. Generally CSU supports research at the administrative levels, especially considering the declining education budgets within the state.

Cons

Generally the pay is poor compared to private institutions, and most employees haven't had a raise since 2008. There are some exceptional students at CSU, who I have enjoyed working with, but the vast majority of undergraduates do not take learning seriously and have very poor critical thinking skills.
