Pros

Pretty good benefits - generous PTO, decent 403b match, and free tickets to local attractions. Extra perks if you're a musician - access to college facilities such as ensemble spaces and practice rooms. Yearly cost of living increase is nice.

Cons

Pay isn't great. Morale took a nose dive after the Boston Conservatory merger announcement. Career progressions is often times based on other people leaving or leveraging politics/favoritism.
