Pros

Paid time off is okay.

Cons

Are you an employee who loves to take initiative and go the extra mile? Then prepare to be used and abused here at Pace, where the better you are at your job, the more work you're given - just don't expect to be compensated for it. Or to be promoted. Ever. Over the past year in my current role, I have steadily been given more and more responsibilities outside the scope of my job description and pay grade, to the point that I now literally have triple the workload I signed on for. Any time I've asked about a raise, I've literally been laughed at by my supervisor. And my job description has never officially been changed. This holds true for the majority of the people in my department, and my friends in other departments across campus. So I, and most of my colleagues, have settled for the "do just enough to not get fired" approach to working as we desperately search for new jobs. And don't bother going to HR - they're either corrupt or completely incompetent. The jury's still out on which.

Pros

Cordial colleagues, polite atmosphere. A few very hard workers. The front line is student-focused. Plenty of interesting on campus activities for students that staff are welcome to join.

Cons

Zero growth potential, micromanaging and punitive leadership culture, shifting goalposts, opaque communications, stuck in old fashioned working styles, leaders reluctant to let go of basic tasks and end up doing menial work themselves. Very high staff turnover, where leaders blamed departures on anything but their environment.
