Pros

The role to help make a student-athlete's experience a rewarding one. Being involved in athletics.

Cons

Compensation is very poor for every single phase of the department outside of football and basketball support staffs. Every decision made has budgetary concerns, down to buying a pencil. Best interest of the department as a whole is not the main factor in decision-making, money is.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
