Benefits when i started wages advancement Campus food at Rathskeller, Mores and Big Apple Pizza

President is treated as royalty. Staff are peasants who live in fear of angering her. Benefits continue to erode to "save money" University spends hundreds of millions on new state of the art facilities then lays off hundreds of employees Unhelpful Human Resources.

Pros

The medical insurance was great. It was a custom plan with low co-pays and no deductible. I worked with some amazing people and learned a lot about my field. This position allowed me to travel all over the country and internationally. We were given the week between Christmas and New Year's off. The best part of the job was interacting with students, meeting them and helping them. We had a pretty lenient work from home policy too.

Cons

HR does not actually care about the employees. My boss set me up for failure. The school still thinks it is a top 25 university. They are not looking to the future and are stuck. Even with the the new president of the university is backward thinking and rarely talks to employees.
