Pros

Overall, FSU is an excellent place to work. The campus is beautiful, PTO is great (especially for A&P employees,) and the health care plans are among the best in the country. President McCullough made it a priority to bring staff salaries into line with the market, mitigating over a decade of no cost-of-living increases.

Cons

It really depends on where you work at FSU, and who you work for. I spent over a decade in a college with a micromanaging bully of a supervisor that made me miserable and physically ill. I have since moved on to a different college, and the difference is night and day.

Pros

I had a job and could read my books/draw during down time.

Cons

Horrible management. Incredibly aloof staff that does not take POC employees seriously. Also, multitude of microaggressions and straight up racism, Plain attempts of treating their staff without compassion and also putting their staff and students in harm's way during FSU's 2025 school shooting. Staff was told to keep working during an active shooting and even after people had been pronounced dead. This is not simply a testing center issue but a systematic concern of FSU's departments. Pay is also mediocre and only went up recently because of consistent complaints from the employees--not because they wanted to. Plenty of inappropriate behaviors were present while I was working there from upper management. Fawning, favoritism, power trips, blurring boundaries, etc. Parking is awful.
