Very flexible scheduling, competitive pay, fun work atmosphere, and having a job that i'm actually proud to put on my resume.

Pros

There are so many opportunities for advancement, as well as trying different fields, different jobs. Fellow employees are for the most part really smart, the students are for the most part fun to work with, as are the faculty, the campus is nice, ...

Cons

The salaries tend to be waaaay below market -- Columbia attracts an intelligent, motivated workforce, but doesn't seem to place much value on its workers.
