Pros

Great potential in my area. Learning and professional development is always supported. Great office culture and atmosphere.

Cons

Most of the IT seems to have given up. No ambition to take on big projects or really make an impact on student's lives. Most work is done to simply maintain the status quo. The "IT Governance" committees are full of people who have zero technology experience making ill-informed tech decisions, and are so large that they're completely counter productive. Promotion chances are slim. It takes an act of the Legislature (literally) to get any kind of raise.

Pros

People are nice generally, but I find that to be true only the lower down the hierarchy you go.

Cons

Leadership, especially the closer you get to the upper administration, tends to be wildly out of touch, has little to no supervisory skill, and seems to lack basic human compassion.
