Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

Below average paycheck. Will over work employees. You will end up taking on the responsibilities of others without pay increases. Will look the other way when non-salaried supervisors stay on the clock to get overtime, but leave the faculty to take care of personal things.

I see that you are no longer an employee, but I will pass along this feedback to management.
