      Pros

      The university is large enough where you there are a large number of opportunities to experience different things. The health benefits are outstanding. You'll get coverage for your entire family. State College is a great place to live, especially if you have a family. It is safe and clean.

      Cons

      Your experience will really depend on what area of the university you work in. I know some people that have had a horrible experience because of their supervisor. The salaries could be better. There isn't really a huge incentive to offer a large salary, because there aren't any comparable universities nearby.

      Pros

      They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

      Cons

      Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
