Pros

I work in the Advising Center, it is a great group of people and a very supportive, communicative working environment. You can tell that everyone cares about what they do and is dedicated to uplifting each other and improving the university as a whole. Management is great.

Cons

The higher ups are often making decisions that make our jobs harder. They are very removed from the faculty, staff, and students and so they institute new policies or changes that needlessly complicate things because they don't know what it's like to actually work in these student-facing offices.

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
