Great benefits and work-life balance, but pay lags behind - IT Analyst Texas State Employee Review

Flexible schedules, Light work, Good hours

Low pay, not very great for making a lot of money

- you get to say you work for a university - they are inclusive i guess

Make no mistake: they do not care about you. You can give them 10 years of your life and they can dissolve your 'contract' on a whim. You will be working outside your contract ~1 month/year if you want to actually do your job. The benefits package is worthless, there aren't even any doctors in network within a 50 mile radius except some holistic practice and one guy with awful reviews. Most people you work with will be incompetent (many of the teaching faculty), and if you are good at your job you will wind up doing theirs too.
