Pros

The school sits on the water so it's nice out there in the summer time to sit and eat your lunch.

Cons

You get paid once a month. It takes like three checks for your direct deposit to kick in. When you leave they will send you a letter stating that you will receive a check with your accrued vacation and sick leave that you didn't use, however when it's time to cut the check they will come up with an excuse not to pay you. It's nothing but politics there if you know somebody you will be good. They do not pay well at all. Medical insurance is extremely high and unaffordable on the salary they pay you.

Pros

Beautiful campus; capable colleagues and the potential is unlimited.

Cons

University lacks leadership and there is a culture of mistrust. The University hasn't automated and most tasks are completed by completing forms and triplicate. It takes two months to establish a direct direct for your paycheck. Benefits are basic. Onboarding is horrific. HR treats you like a criminal. Before filling out paperwork you must take a drug test that employee must pay for along with your campus parking pass. The school cafeteria sells heavy foods loaded with fat and grease. You can only take lunch a one hour between the hours of 12-2. Offices do not have heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer. You typically use space heaters during the winter months. Many offices lack kitchen facilities or water fountains. Employees are strongly advised to purchase gala tickets to support the Proton Therapy Center rather than find donors to support the center. If you don't have the 200.00 to purchase the ticket, you are offered payroll deduction. Pay deduction is always available to pay for services that the University is selling You pay for your business cards and will receive a parking ticket if you do not park in your allotted space. Leadership hires their relatives or female favorites and the general perception is that they receive huge paychecks and not held accountable for their work. If this is how staff is treated, think about the students who are paying over 40K a year to attend school.
