Pros

-Location flexibility (remote) -Pay (compared to AZ public education, not necessarily other states) -Arizona Prop 301 bonus -As an affiliate employee to ASU, you are eligible for Tuition Discounts for ALL AZ state universities; $25 per credit for yourself, 75% off tuition for dependents

Cons

-So many phone calls (which no one answers anyway) -High student load since it's remote -Impossible to meet some expectations - like phone calls to all C and below students every week. When you have 180 students that is challenging.

Pros

We are required to participate in the state employee pension plan.

Cons

Advancement and project opportunities appear to flow to those with established relationships to leadership rather than to those most qualified or experienced. This is visible in hiring decisions, promotions, and project assignments. This culture also affects how my contributions are valued in meetings. My ideas and proposals receive noticeably different levels of engagement depending on who presents them—with preference given to those in leadership's inner circle. Similar contributions from others receive minimal response or are overlooked. Over my tenure, I've been passed over for advancement opportunities and high-visibility projects despite my qualifications and performance. The lack of transparent, merit-based criteria makes it difficult to understand what's actually required to progress here.
