Pros

-- You may work with a nice and helpful team depending on the position. -- Minimal amount is required to pay for graduate education.

Cons

-- The academic adviser (PACT), financial aid and admission departments are the worst departments to work for and have high turnover. -- The management teams for each of the above departments are a joke. They lack real leadership and know-how. It is almost comical to see them in action (rather inaction). -- They hire poorly and are inept in cultivating staff. -- They promote based on unsound reasons. -- They browbeat the staff in producing fictitious results (i.e. registration, academic progress, career, graduation rates etc.) -- There is no advocacy for faculty and union members. -- The new president only cares about registration numbers and passing poor performing students along to make the board members happy. -- PR outright asked staff to not post negative reviews on Glassdoor. Read the positive reviews with a grain of salt.
