Pros

Everyone was always very nice. I never had too much to do, it wasn't stressful at all. Very relaxed pace. Free college classes. Lots of paid holidays. They were extremely understanding and accommodating of life circumstances. I have nothing bad to say about anyone at Tulane, and I think for a lot of people it would be a dream job.

Cons

The slow pace wasn't actually a pro for me. I was so bored. Went months without anything much to do, and not for lack of asking / looking for stuff to do. Over time this really messed with me, I felt bad for getting nothing done but had nothing to do. I never got bad feedback on the work I did do (which wasn't terribly interesting), but I felt bad all the time anyways because I knew I wasn't doing a good job by my own standards. I found it really depressing. So my advice is to be very aware of if you find not being busy to be a good thing or a bad thing before deciding whether to work here.

Pros

Many of the staff who I've interacted with at the University truly do want to make impactful changes whether in a student facing role or a business/operation role. The staff in the student facing roles really do try to assist students and make their lives as seamless as possible when needed. While not beneficial to me the ability to pursue a degree paid for by the school is a great perk.

Cons

There is often a lot of turnover in positions that are instrumental to having a university run smoothly due to an undervaluation of those staff members. In the same vain when these teams lose personnel much of their work is folded onto the remaining team members without any increase in pay or title. This in turn causes significant burnout and usually leads to even more turnover. There is also not really a clear path in growth for staff positions often people will move to another department within the university to see any potential growth.
