Perfect fit if you are over 50 and just waiting to retire
Pros
Good and friendly people Relaxed atmosphere Good medical and retirement benefits
Cons
You won't be promoted until someone retires or dies Some departments have bad leaders at the helm, who overwork and abuse their workers, so be careful Pay is very low compared to other organizations, even the university itself Until this year there was no yearly review, and all raises (if any) were done across the board, which completely killed the motivation (what's the point of working your butt off if you get the same 2% as a woman next cubicle who does literally nothing?) The budget is highly dependent on federal funding, so every year you don't know if there will be money for a raise or not Management tends to pay attention to superficial stuff like wall painting instead of allocating money for raises or education Basically, the Foundation is a perfect place for you if you are 5-8 years away from retirement and just want to sit it out, or if you are a student at SDSU and need some pocket money, If you are in the middle of your career and want career advancement- avoid it.
