Pros

Great medical, dental and good vision plan. Paid vacation and other leaves. Great Staff, management is overall fair, this a relaxed University environment.

Cons

Job turn over is low, which is a good thing, but it makes it difficult to promote, often times, staff staff in the same positon for 5 or more years. To make matters worse, the CSU has failed to keep a close distance to cost of living.
