Pros

Work can be predictable, dependable and secure. Expectations are well communicated. Benefits are good. Many convenience services on campus so no need to leave during the day. Many staff are also students and educational development is a priority. Administrative offices are luxuriously appointed and staff are provided the latest technology such as iphones and ipads.

Cons

Parking can be a problem after 8 With the exception of top executives, lower pay than jobs at private employer of comparable size. State allocations continue to shrink. Unlike private industry, hard work and increased output does not improve financial position. Few opportuities for salary increase or upward mobility despite years of ongoing and unresolved attrition that requires many staff do the work of two or three people.

Pros

Gain experience working with students on a college level-preparation for teaching positions. Many consultants are TAs or have teaching positions at other schools or institutions.

Cons

This job will not pay your bills-secure another form of income. Most if not all of the consultants have another part-time or full-time job. Making up hours from holidays when the Center is closed or hurricane days helps. This is a 10 hr/week position.
