Pros

Good pay & benefits although they have a system in place that offers a lot in the beginning and then slowly chips away at your possibilities as time goes on.

Cons

A lot of good ole boy partnerships free to be biased at will. HR philosophy of don't complain or we'll find a way to get rid of you. Higher level bigots & racists can get away with murder. They promote a lot of respect for people on paper, real life is a different story. In 30 plus years of service only saw benefits slowly get chipped away and changed for the worst.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, prestige, lots of time off, beautiful campus and workplace amenities

Cons

A large chunk of the workforce needs to retire. Management is from the old guard and can be stuck in their ways. I've never worked somewhere so frustrating in my life. I felt undervalued here every day.
