Pros

- good work-life balance - a great place to work if one has a family and desires a 9-5 job with decent benefits - benefits usually include the opportunity to take classes

Cons

- Working in small offices provides limited upward growth potential; most individuals need to move to other offices to be promoted - Few opportunities for promotion or rewards or recognition for excelling at one's job - Like many academic institutions, individuals who want to make change or "shake things up" or are ambitious will often encounter bureaucracy and some apathy among staff members
