Pros

Tuition Remission, Broad set of challenges, Exposure to multiple facets of the entire school. If your career goal is to grow fast and continue growth, then this is an ideal place to get in, get a degree, gain valuable work experience and then leave. Good work/life balance. Job security.

Cons

Extreme budget constraints, the top decision makers (ie. faculty and dean) have unrealistic expectations due to the extremely limited budget they supply. There is always a do more with less approach, and while this is good for the sake of efficiency, there comes a point where it is just extreme. Upper management has no real backbone for creating policies and enforcing them. Extreme political forces at play here and lots of employees are undervalued.
