Pros

The department that I worked in felt like a family. The faculty and staff really wanted to see students succeed. The staff made sure that students had no issues with registration or holds. The professors in my department were world leaders in their area of research.

Cons

The bureaucratic process is tiresome. The school relies too much on paper and not enough on technology. There is a lot of paper changing hands between departments. It was common for paperwork to get lost. The process for getting business done can move at snails pace.

Bored and Salaried

Pros

Salaried position with health/vision/dental/life/other benefits. M-F predictable schedule.

Cons

My position is busy exactly two times a semester: add/drop and finals week. Otherwise it's just days of boredom. You can only organize so many files and answer so many phones. There's a lot of "it's always been done this way" and very little growth. And there's an irritating trend of being expected to know how something is done without anyone ever explaining how and it's not in the handbook either. Overall, not a good work environment for someone that needs to stay busy.
