very fast paced environment lasted 18 years but the management team has changed and they are just not my jkind of people

Working on a college campus was very exciting. I loved having the opportunity to mentor my athletes off the field and coach the kids on the field. I learned a lot about budgeting, as I was responsible for our equipment and travel budget. Each day was so different, which was very exciting. The hardest part of the job was going 7 days a week for 6 months. – more... But in the end it was so rewarding. – less

Great benefits. Postdocs work hard, which is typical. Don't know much about the rest of the school.
