Pros

I loved worked for the university and the people I worked with were very kind and supportive.

Cons

However the workload was completely unmanageable. I felt like I was working three jobs in one and when I tried to express my concerns regarding this, HR just told me that maybe this wasn't a good fit. I was trying to explain that they needed to hire more people to help support the team so the workload could be distributed evenly but they just insisted it was a fit issue and didn't recognize how unreasonable it was to ask someone to take on so much work.
