Pros

Great location, cool town and perfect distance from Denver for it to have its own identity. CSU is a pretty nice school and the undergrads you'll teach are pretty laid back.

Cons

Far enough away from Denver the professors don't get too many post-docs. The professors in the college of Natural Sciences is oddly quite competitive amongst each other.

Pros

It was a very congenial place to work, but as soon as I was having a little trouble making it to a class, which could have been swapped with another prof, they laid me off that summer....no tenure. I had developed a neurological disease which effected my ability to move fast through crowded corridors. So, I was late (about 2 minutes) to class twice that semester.

Cons

The leadership was very poor in the liberal arts department, and no room at all for anyone with a disability or getting a little older....over 50.

Pros

As an undergraduate research assistant I played many roles in the High Energy Physics Department, and was given a lot of responsibility. Lots of great teamwork and resume building. They were very accommodating to class schedules and helping me find employment after graduation.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy to work through. Lots of politics in physics, if you know the right people it seems to go a lot easier.
