"Positives:
Great benefits
Campus is lively, creative and you can have intelligent conversations
Co-workers tend to be nice and become friends
Nice place to retire to and work part-time
Negatives:
Low pay
Men tend to have higher positions even though the place has about 70% women
Old-school management style, hierarchy and a tier system. Faculty rule and then you go down the ladder.

"When you interview, don't be afraid to ask the genuine questions that matter to you. For example, if you're an entry to mid-level employee, don't be afraid to ask questions to the potential supervisor about their leadership style and opinions on professional development. What's their internal department approach, and is their a budget/resources for you to take additional classes, certificates, workshops, etc?"

"Culture can be very different based on department. There is wide-range of flexibility throughout the different departments at the University. In my experience, it depends on the department and even within the department itself. Oftentimes, it's your immediate lead/supervisor whom oversees your work that will enable and advocate for (or possibly hinder) your growth and development. "
