Pros

For being a large research focused university, they are actually focused on students and teaching. Great colleagues and supervisors who care and are supportive. Access to any technology you want for your class, research/projects you want to work on, and access to any expert you could ever want. It's all at your fingertips.

Kontras

Despite PSU relying heavily on fixed term faculty (in most colleges the majority of faculty are FT), it is made VERY clear that you are at the bottom of the PSU ladder. What you have to say does not matter. But if a tenured faculty says the same thing, oh Lord, what a great idea! At least for FT teaching faculty, your job is strictly to teach. Research and publication is NOT part of your contract, which may be fine for some folks, but need to remember that lack of research and publications is going to hurt you when looking for another position. New FT contract is BS. States that the college/university can terminate you with only 12 weeks notice. WTH is the point in a yearly or multiyear contract!? FT faculty were NOT consulted on this, the change was just made.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Kontras

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
