Pros
Great sense of community. Rewarding because you're making a difference in the lives of students. Solid benefits, tuition assistance, cultural and athletic events for free.
Cons
Academia is just slower to process things/ paperwork/ changes than the private sector. Can be frustrating to have to wait long periods of time for necessary changes. Also, (unwanted) changes can just "come down from the top" very quickly. Seems to happen more here than in the private sector I previously worked in. The benefits are great, but the pay isn't (in general for staff members.)
