Avantages

Great retirement benefits. Flexible work schedules (depending on your manager and job duties). Plenty of paid holidays and generous PTO for salaried employees.

Inconvénients

Leadership is stagnant and consists of a lot of long time employees who made their way up the chain by being the next man in line when somebody moves up or quits. This is great if you just want to get a promotion, but it leads to people being in power with no skills, expertise or outside experience being brought to the organization. When somebody is being replaced, "After an exhaustive nation-wide search", it ends up being the person below them just getting promoted. They wont fire people for poor performance, they just keep letting them do a terrible job and negatively impacting those around them. The "Raises" are pathetic for working staff (1%/yr), while upper management will see raises in the tens of thousands. This is especially disturbing for a Non-Profit organization that has leadership with higher salaries than equivalent positions in larger, for-profit companies. Being a Non-Profit, take a look at the publicly available 990 form from the IRS to see for yourself. The student newspaper occasionally publishes these numbers as well.

Avantages

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Inconvénients

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
