Pros

Working with the college students and parents. Love the Christmas paid time off for 1-2 weeks. Great knowledge of the complicated financial aid process.

Cons

Management all the way up to Administration is very cut throat and non-family oriented. Employees in this office who having young children is not good because they won't get promoted in this office. Human Resources and equity & access office work for the University and are not there to help you and stop discrimination or retaliation. They are only looking out for themselves and their careers to be one of the hundreds of VP's within the University. Curious on how many local Hispanics work for the university and how many are hired from other states. Also, how many Hispanics are in management positions, since they claim to be a Hispanic serving school. Note, they like to serve low income Hispanics because they receive federal grants and state grants which go directly to tuition and the school. Would never want to attend this school and give them a penny.

Pros

- you get to say you work for a university - they are inclusive i guess

Cons

Make no mistake: they do not care about you. You can give them 10 years of your life and they can dissolve your 'contract' on a whim. You will be working outside your contract ~1 month/year if you want to actually do your job. The benefits package is worthless, there aren't even any doctors in network within a 50 mile radius except some holistic practice and one guy with awful reviews. Most people you work with will be incompetent (many of the teaching faculty), and if you are good at your job you will wind up doing theirs too.
