Pros

Fort Collins is a WONDERFUL place to live. The climate is perfect, schools are great, and the town is fun for families. The University is a great employer, and depending on the position, the work schedules are very flexible. CSU is like most academic institutions focused on research and teaching, which offers flexibility in time and, to some extent, what you do.

Cons

Colorado has been under a hiring/raise freeze for some time, and it only recently came out of that. Consequently, everyone wants a raise, so they've changed their structure of instituting those, making out of cycle raises almost impossible. This is important, because a lot of people were not hired on competitive salaries to begin with.
