Pros

Elon is a community of innovative, hard-working professionals who are always striving to do better and be better; the benefits are great (especially retirement and the free wellness exercise classes); many of the students are a joy to work with; in general it's a community of caring professionals who are deeply invested in their work and their community and treat each other well

Cons

Salary is relatively low when compared to public institutions; lots of turnover with young professional staff due to lack of opportunities for growth in title/salary

Pros

- If you work the right hours you get a lot of down time to do hw, study, watch netflix or whatever it is you want to do. I've worked shifts where all I've had to do is answer a handful of phone calls over the course of 2-4 hours. - $9/hr base pay - relatively easy job - customer service background is great

Cons

- There is training, but most of what I learned about tech and trouble shooting was on the fly. - Morning shifts: the office opens 1 hour before campus, which means 7 am shifts sometimes - some of the technicians can be very confrontational and irritated by student employees, making them unapproachable. - some of the student staff are boarder-line useless at their jobs -
