Pros

This is very easy work and you can learn quickly no matter who you are. The health insurance benefits are decent considering.

Cons

This place has terrible management and they couldn't possibly care less about morale and getting things clean correctly. They fail at meeting the health code standards and the management just brushes it off like it's nothing. They don't care about your health relating to mold growing in the dish room or not using sanitizer on certain pots or pans at all yet reading them. If you tell them that you aren't comfortable working with a certain staff member because of harsh working environment between you and said employee they will call you insubordinate and let you go or write you up. Don't stand up for what you believe in because they will tell you that you are unprofessional or once again insubordinate. The management including the director I are all buddy buddy and you can't do go to anyone with concerns because they will tell you they'll handle it and never do anything about it.

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
