Business Outlook

Pros

The pros are you get free tuition with working with the university, some departments allow you to make up time by staying late or coming in early. The rating system is rather fair.

Cons

For advancement you have to apply for your promotion. If the job titles are remotely similar they won't give you a raise. They pay staff very low wages. They pay the lowest overall wages to staff compared to all other State Universities in Florida. They do provide training classes that are not helpful unless you already know how to do something and just need further guidance. Human resources is very biased and normally sides with upper management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very supportive when it comes to facilities and funding for conferences and training. Working as a researcher is a lot of pressure due to tight deadlines.

Cons

There is no work life balance. Career growth and job security are very limited. Most of the jobs are contract based, so you will be needed as long there are funds.
