Avantages
Tuition remission is valuable to some, but not all. Really only beneficial to high income families who do not qualify for Federal & NYS grants and loans. Tuition remission only applies to undergraduate degrees. If you have already paid for your student’s education, give this place a miss. Their Purple Perks are more like Bogus Bucks. Basically Monopoly money.
Inconvénients
- decades of wage stagnation/no raises
- high turnover due to poverty wages
- stingy vacation time and sick time
- expectations of participating in after-hours bonding exercises
- rigid schedule, no flextime, limited work-from-home opportunities
- if you have a Bachelors or Masters degree, trust that a student worker, landscape technician and cafeteria staff member may make more than you do
- expectations of contributing to pot lucks, retirement/birthday party gifts, all while knowing how little much of the staff makes
- buildings are rarely cleaned, expect to move into a filthy office that you will spend 3 hours cleaning and another 20 minutes a week keeping it that way
- food-centered goodwill is hyped up in the absence of true appreciation in the form of fair and reasonable earnings
I could seriously go on for much longer.
