Stressful.
Administrative Specialist in Topeka:

May 2019
It's Educational.
Administrative Specialist in Syracuse:
Pros: The environment is very engaging and the campus has a great deal to offer to all employees through benefits and other experiences.
Cons: Staff are not truly valued, but are seen more as cogs. As employees leave their workload is usually shifted to other, already overloaded employees. More often than not, this is done without appropriate compensation. Raises for staff never go above simple cost of living, and often fall short of that meager level. Any pay increases are then returned to the University through increases in parking and insurance payments. Staff income stagnates for years, and more often than not, they fall back each year.
