Pros

Penn State offers a lot of lateral and upwards movement in jobs, there are many positions available and they often give preference to current employees.

Cons

Penn State has a huge network and offers lots of positions, however, all those departments are run by very different people. I primarily worked in the art/humanities sector of Penn State and that meant working with a lot a faculty. Even as a full time staff member (with a Master's Degree) I found most faculty to be hard to work with. They don't answer emails, but when they need something from you they don't hesitate to email you 6 times a day, call you, and reach out to your supervisor.
