Raises? What's that? - Systems Support Analyst Arizona State University Employee Review

Pros

Pros - Lax dress code, good people working with you usually, and it's not a terrible job. Sure, we have our busy moments, but all in all, it's not that stressful for 7 months out of the year. You also get to meet pretty important people like Lucy Hawking (Stephen Hawking's daughter). Also, in my specific position, I have a fair amount of autonomy to get things done how I want and when I can.

Cons

I know Arizona is in a budget crisis, but downsizing the workforce and then expecting everyone else to pick up the slack without any type of raise is horrible. For the last 4 years, we haven't even received cost of living increases. My area of support used to have 26 people taking care of over 10,000 machines. Now, we have 8. For 4 years, I have maintained the only perfect customer rating in our group with one person, me. I don't know if I can continue providing excellent support for no salary increases or even opportunities to move up the food chain. Lately, the level of work has shot through the roof and I can't keep up - even when informing management of the problems I face.
