Pros

None. The competent employees leave as soon as they can secure a new position. Long-term employees are mostly inept with a few who are merely lazy rather than incompetent sprinkled in for good measure.

Cons

Low pay Inept leadership Nepotism and favoritism abounds Lack of opportunity Management is indifferent to employee morale

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.
