Pros

Lots of opportunities for advancement in MSS department due to high turnover.

Cons

-Toxic work environment for staff, where everyone is expected to accept abuse from faculty and work extra hours during the week as well as weekends. -Also, the department struggles with racism. There have been workshops to try and help but I’ve talked to co-workers that are POC about their experiences and they are clearly being treated very differently than most other employees. -Pay for RA’s is lower than the average across the University, let alone the industry.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time here, I was in the athletic department, lots of very nice people, other interns were very nice as well and easy to work with.

Cons

Not really any cons for me, I was working in the field I want to work in so I really enjoyed seeing how everything comes together
