Is this your company?

Good place to work, but there's no money in it for staff no matter how hard one works - Anonymous employee Kennesaw State University Employee Review

Pros

Dedicated and competent coworkers, for the most part; great campus atmosphere. Good benefits. Tuition reimbursement for those who qualify. Many fun activities on campus.

Cons

Hard work, or competence, is not rewarded anywhere near adequately. Every year, it's the same old thing from the campus president: "We have to do more with less." Way too many levels of administration, which suck up much of the cash available for raises. Have to get a Master's Degree for any type of promotion in my department, which is ridiculous. ENTIRELY too many layers of supervision/management, most of which are superfluous at best.

Pros

Those are really good opportunities for you to gain more experience on your resume while in school. Depending on who your supervisor is, you will get different projects and experience. It's not just strictly "lab research" like the name suggests. Also, beyond your job, you will learn a lot from your professor, aka supervisor, too. In my experience, I have worked with multiple professors, and they are all amazing people who understand you're still a student, are very flexible with your schedule, and always push for your success. Big pros: You get a tuition waiver depending on your job's tier (meaning how much work and how many hours per week you work, which is stated clearly on the website and by your supervisor). There's a stipend paid on top of that.

Cons

I haven't had any cons so far.

Pros

The only true "pro" to this career and this employer is the job security. As long as you do your job and do it well, it is likely that you'll remain employed here. If you get lucky, like I did, you'll work with a great immediate team of folks.

Cons

No upper movement. The company would much rather bring in outside hires rather than promote from within. Pay is on the lowest end of the USG for this role. Work/life balance is absolutely horrible.
