Pros

The RDs are for the most part really cool people, there's some obvious benefits for being an RA (like living alone). However, working with the other people on your staff is so much fun. Your staff is like your family and it's great to be able to share the best duty night stories with them.

Cons

The higher ups can be very strict and put limits on the RDs interaction with us. Don't really have a say in what form you're in until your second year either.

Pros

The people! I am happy to say I am good friends with the people I work with. I enjoy coming to work every day. The culture of the University is a very positive one. Their values are clearly visible and emphasized in almost everything they do. They look out for their students, faculty, and staff. Also plenty of growth potential. The University has grown remarkably over the last 10 years, defying the recession, and is poised to do the same for the next 10 years. As they continue to earn recognition and attract greater talent, this can only benefit current and future employees. This is really a place where you can enjoy what you do and feel like you are a valuable part of a team that is making a difference in people's lives in higher education.

Cons

The compensation and benefits are somewhat lackluster beyond all of the gifts and "free stuff." Average or below average pay in most fields, but this is almost to be expected at an institution whose primary goal is to educate their students. If you don't "buy in" to their mission and values, it will all seem a little lacking to you.

Pros

Awesome work environment, great benefits and extra perks such as bonus structure and money added to your passport card every semester for food and other items. The campus is unreal. Almost like working in a resort that happens to hold classes. The management staff seems genuinely invested in the success of the students and institution.

Cons

Parents and students can be very rude and condescending towards staff when it comes to payment and tuition issues. Often treated like an illiterate hillbilly by some parents that call or visit because of their 1% status. Interdepartmental relations could be better.
