Pros

Depending on the department you are working in, it can be an incredibly supportive and worthwhile work environment.

Cons

Working at the Career Center is potentially the worst department at Stony Brook. The four members of leadership refer to each other as "sisters" and perpetuate a toxic culture where they blame those below them for their poor management skills. Unfortunately, these leadership members are also friends with those above them, so even though there have been multiple complaints from staff, their superiors give them a slap on the wrist and never give them actual consequences for their heinous actions.
