Pros

If you manage to hang around long enough the pay is good. Many of the faculty and staff (who actually interact with students) are great.

Cons

The direction of the college, and the culture have changed only for the negative. The college has put such an overwhelming focus on hiring VPs and AVPs etc that the student experience has suffered. Your experience is entirely linked to the management you work under. Stay away from the area somehow titled Student Affairs. Toxic environment.
