Pros

I appreciate the benefits and the hybrid schedule. I would say the pay, but my responsibilities keep growing, causing my hourly pay to decrease over the last two years significantly. How am I rewarded for taking on extra duties? A 2% merit increase.

Cons

Demeaning faculty supervisors; overworked & undervalued staff; lack of department-specific written procedures and training; too much gatekeeping; and a clear lack of communication and any written procedures.
