Pros

Friendly people. Pleasant campus.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Departments are siloed from one another, making it difficult to plan and organize. Many employees across campus are overworked (and some, I fear, lazy), which also contributes to an unreasonable length of time in getting things accomplished interdepartmentally.

A Good First Job

Pros

Great coworkers. Manager was very understanding of time conflicts due to school. Free drinks on breaks.

Cons

Often had to stay past my shift time to clean the store. Sometimes we were under staffed due to finals weeks which made work harder. The environment was very cliquey and if you were not a manager favorite good luck getting promoted to supervisor or manager. Could not have good on breaks even though they tossed out most of it at the end of the night. Felt very overworked at times.
