"I like fixing things that seem unfixable to users, rolling out a rack of servers in a network and having them come up and roar to life, taking the production from all those servers and putting it in a format/database the clients can use. I can lose all track of time just getting things done and spend all night making a deadline, no problem."

Systems Manager at Azusa Pacific University
in Azusa, CA

"The Student Systems manager position was one that involved just about anything that wasn't fit for one of the other managerial positions. Good and a bad thing as you get to dip your toes into a lot of different tasks, but you end up with a lot on your plate."

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"The company and the employees are fantastic to work with."

"I have a flexible schedule where I can come to work sometimes after 8:00 a.m. with no questions asked. Lunch is provided by the company every day.

What don't you like about working at Stephen F. Austin State University?

"The university has no clear path that everyone works towards. The university is a collection of fiefdoms all fighting for money/influence."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Define a clear mission for the university and make sure that everyone understands the mission and works towards the end goal. Currently there are two factions within the university that result in no true progress being made for either."
