Pros

Working as a lab tech meant hr was never informed when I took days off so I got paid for my "unused" 2 weeks of vacation when I left

Cons

The environment was terrible. Upper mgmt/professors would work their employees and students to the bone while pinching pennies. Buying the lab pizza for lunch once every 6 months was the extent of our perks and going to work every morning felt like walking into a funeral home.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
