Great catholic university with good academic programs in an urban setting
Senior Accountant (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: free education for yourself and family
Cons: free degree must be directly related to job, in order to right off tuition tax.
The day includes your typical nine to five accounting day, which may include journal entries, reconciliations, financial reporting and analysis.

Management includes long-time individuals who may come directly to you for questions and bypass your manager, when they need answers fast.

Co-workers include a pretty diverse group of people who have entertaining – more...  personalities.

I gained a great deal of knowledge about the non-profit organizational financial structure, including fund accounting the importance and impact of gifts/donations and how it determines their solvency.

No job is really hard because life is about adjustments and how willing you and those involved are to making them. The most enjoyable part about this job was being in an academic environment where you were given the opportunity to grow, continuously. – less

Mission-driven employer
Department Assistant (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: free tuition
Cons: non-unionized
DePaul University has good benefits for its employees, which compensates in some ways for the relatively low pay compared to other universities in the area (possibly the lowest for the work). This is usually the response- it is a non-profit dedicate to serving students from under-represented communities, and being an employee here means you are dedicated – more...  to that mission despite the low pay. – less
