Pros

- If you want to go back to school the tuition remission benefit is great. However you need to be employed for two full years to take advantage of it - 20+ vacation days - Main campus is beautiful, very easily accessible by bus/subway/bike/walking

Cons

- Salary is lower than an equivalent job not in academia, I would not recommend working here unless you plan on taking advantage of the tuition benefit - Aside from slight cost of living increases, raises are hard to come by for full time administrators unless you are promoted and move up to a higher grade - Night and weekend work was advertised as occasional in the job listing but ended up being quite regular
