Pros
Ursinus is a vibrant, friendly community. They are currently in transition as the new president is in his third year and many high-level administrators are new. Over the last several years benefits have been greatly enhanced including vacation time for hourly employees and an active wellness program. 403B match is good and you can't beat the time off. Top-notch IT office and IT support. Students are engaging and bright.
Cons
Pay is typically low for hourly and lower-level salaried employees. Many of the seasoned staff are not happy with recent changes and feel that the place is not as family-oriented as it once was or that the new regime "cares" about employees. That is a matter of opinion. Ask different people and you'll get many different answers. Newer employees should have no problems. Some departments have lean staff and work is being distributed among other staff who are not being adequately compensated for taking on additional responsibility. Also, different departments have different sets of issues,both positive and negative.
