Business Outlook

Pros

- Access to excellent benefits package ant time off except for sick time - Acess to unlimitted self paced training and development through CATLR and virtual training - Exchange daily interactions with Faculty and Students -Contribute to the student's ability to obtain excellent quality education

Cons

- with technological advances enabling faculty's productivity Administrative support is becoming less essential for college / faculty operations as the faculty can undertake most of these functions in addition to their teaching and service loads. Therefore not a lot of opportunity for growth in the administrative support sector unless you join with a Marketing or ITS background.
