Great quality education at a low cost. Boring town. - Research Assistant Kansas State University Employee Review

Pros

I received tuition reimbursement on top of a salary, interesting research work, and I collaborated with good professors. If you're willing to put in the work for a few years as a graduate student, it seems to pay off quite well in the long run. This is a great place to launch your career, particularly if you're an engineer or are interested in agriculture.

Cons

Manhattan is a small, conservative town - it can be quite boring. Weather gets a bit crazy.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
