Not for High-performers - Computer Technician III Utah State University Employee Review

Pros

Excellent benefits such as insurance and retirement.

Cons

If you are even slightly interested in being a top performer, you shouldn't bother. This institution doesn't reward performance - and why would it? The forces that push industry to keep and sustain a competitive advantage do not influence this place. Everyone receives the same base raise. Two individuals who have the same job title might have drastically different salaries (upwards of $15,000 in my case) depending on what business unit (department) you work for.

Pros

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

Cons

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.
