Pros

Great university atmosphere, fun campus, great department leadership

Cons

The LSU AgCenter hires the inept, incompetent and middle school mentality leadership. If you are lazy and incompetent you will be promoted and given a raise. If you do your job and are competent you will be asked to carry the incompetent and will be expected to complete your responsibilities as well as others. Leadership makes decisions that they are not qualified to make and will not consult with those that have the knowledge. Not a sustainable entity!

Pros

Benefits covered 90% of my healthcare needs. The time-off and work-from-home policies were flexible and allowed me to meet my military requirements.

Cons

The salary policy did not guarantee advancement for low-level employees. You are guaranteed a merit raise each year, but you cannot receive a salary raise within the same six-month period. If an Unclassified employee reaches the maximum of their pay scale, they will no longer receive a merit raise. A department supervisor must approve any pay scale increase. The appeal process takes longer than most are willing to accept.
