Challenging, both because of the organizational management style and because of the expectations.

Pros

People are very dedicated to the school; the culture is very loyal. A lot of the employees are lifers, so institutional knowledge is strong.

Cons

Like any non-profit, change is hard to accept, and resources are spread thin. If you know how to do things, expect to be called upon to help with projects outside your normal job duties.

The ODY service desk is an amazing place to work as a student!

Pros

A significant portion of my initial professional development came from my time working with the IT department, now merged with the library and circulation team to form the ODY service desk. The interactions with both fellow student workers and professional staff members taught me much about workplace dynamics and establishing rapport with those you work with. Majority of the work was dependent upon troubleshooting problems as you face them, with professional staff encouraging us to try and figure out a solution ourselves but to remember that we have their support and that of our colleagues when needed.

Cons

There is a good amount of physical labor and more repetitive tasks to do over the summer period as systems get upgraded; it is doable, but it can get tiring.
