Business Outlook

Pros

A wonderful place to develop intellectually; good opportunities for exploring interdisciplinary thinking. My salary increased 30% over the two years that I worked here.

Cons

No research library and limited archives. Materials requests had to be conducted entirely through GIL or ILL which created a lot of challenges for keeping up to date on new trends in the field and conducting research. A very limited research budget ($300).
