Pros
Your closest co-workers are your friends. You'll need them when times get tough. The pay is OK and the atmosphere outside of the admin office can be nice. There are so many people that are a pleasure to work with.
Cons
While the pay is OK, many education staff are overworked and get ZERO overtime. Some full timers are hourly and get overtime, while the majority don't. This is possibly illegal, but LSC is getting away with it. As others have said, the hours can be late into the night sometimes and every day during busy periods. There are downright rude, obnoxious and completely unprofessional managers and directors. They get away with it regularly. Complaints to the talent office, lsc's wacky version of HR, go without anything being done. They pick sides and decide who they want to believe and staff wind up either fired or fed up and quit. The CEO only listens to the advice from a select few, so a very toxic work environment has developed. This mix includes little groups in some departments that make many people miserable with their constant demands. Internal politics and divisions just make it more toxic. New staff have to be told who to watch out for and who not to tick off, because certain mid level management are known to complain all the time and get people into trouble. There are so many people looking for other work it's not even funny. All you need to do is look at the job offerings and you can see the revolving door in many positions. It didn't used to be this bad but now it is.
