      Good place to work for stability and family life

      Pros

      BU is a very stable place, with a ton of benefits for families. They provide good retirement matching, a great affordable daycare, excellent tuition benefits, and a vibrant community.

      Cons

      BU's salary scale seems low compared to other institutions. The faculty/staff dynamic can be tenuous depending on the unit.

      Worked right out of college

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, good benefits. The entry-level job workload allows you to pursue other goals (graduate school, launch your band, etc.) while you figure out how to not squander your youth.

      Cons

      This wasn't really the place for me, ultimately, so I don't think it's fair to state my beefs. I would instead say that if you wanted to pursue a career in university administration, this is a place that (at the time) fostered people who wanted that.
