Pros

State benefits are great, students are fun to be around, and most of the employees really like contributing to a top institution. There is a lot of opportunity for professional development and many job opportunities.

Cons

Faculty and staff are treated very differently when it comes to salaries. Staff (OPS, USPS, and A&P) rarely receive pay raises yet faculty continue to get bumps. The staff morale is an issue across many academic and student affairs departments. Being a top 20 institution brings a lot of pressure to perform and assume responsibilities that you were not hired for. When people leave it's not uncommon for their duties to be added to staff rather than rehired.

Pros

I had a job and could read my books/draw during down time.

Cons

Horrible management. Incredibly aloof staff that does not take POC employees seriously. Also, multitude of microaggressions and straight up racism, Plain attempts of treating their staff without compassion and also putting their staff and students in harm's way during FSU's 2025 school shooting. Staff was told to keep working during an active shooting and even after people had been pronounced dead. This is not simply a testing center issue but a systematic concern of FSU's departments. Pay is also mediocre and only went up recently because of consistent complaints from the employees--not because they wanted to. Plenty of inappropriate behaviors were present while I was working there from upper management. Fawning, favoritism, power trips, blurring boundaries, etc. Parking is awful.
