Going the extra mile

Resources & communications coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaborative culture of engaged learning. Driven to provide premier professional development opportunities for all its constituents. Employees are acknowledged for their work and supported by the administration to achieve professional development goals.

Cons

Although the campus has grown over the years, it seems that the number of staff working to manage the added facilities has not grown at the same rate. For example, repairs to facilities used to take less than 24 hours to occur, now take sometimes three times longer to be addressed or resolved.

Expect big ideas with too few funds and people to complete projects!

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay Flexible schedule (for managers) Great benefits package Good number of paid holidays (5 days at Christmas is wonderful) Many frontline staff have to work through the holidays taking them as double time pay as opposed to time off

Cons

Different people are held to different standards. The CIO is not a technology veteran. His background is in film. He is easily wowed by poor but popular trends in technology. The CIO will lie to protect himself and his cronies. Expect big ideas with too few funds and people to complete the project. Be prepared to engage in toxic politics at every level. There is a definite "cover your ass" mentality. Be prepared to face burnout both in yourself and in other staff. Senior leadership is out of touch with frontline staff and the challenges those staff face. Forget internal promotion unless you can maneuver your way into the "in crowd." Expect emphasis to be on level of education as opposed to experience or skill set.
