Pros

Great place to work for younger staff. Many entry level positions for those looking to work in higher education. Good benefits. Beautiful campus. Amazing opportunities for staff to be advisors for trips, groups, etc regardless if you are a professor, student life staff member, even administrative assistants!

Cons

Low salary compared to other universities. University as a whole treats their students like children - almost like an extended high school. Be prepared to interact with parents more so than your average university. Most positions are revolving doors - many people do not stay for more than 2-3 years because of low salary (not because of job atmosphere).

Pros

Everyone surrounding Elon and other employees are friendly and fun to be around. I always enjoyed the work atmosphere and my superiors were always conscious of my class schedule.

Cons

It is tough working for the school you are attending because you feel like your entire life takes place inside the small Elon bubble sometimes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is very team oriented and works towards a common goal. It feels very much like a family, it's a lot of fun, and you get to see a variety of things.

Cons

Being paid every 2 weeks gets tough every once and awhile, and it takes a long time to get a raise towards an already low commission.
