Pros
Better than usual vacation time. Campus is well taken care of. Onsite cafeteria (although pricey). There are lots of opportunities to make improvements (just don't be too disappointed when you get shot down).
Cons
IT is a complete cluster. People don't do their jobs and end up with more responsibility. It is like a junior high popularity contest and management is included. Management does nothing here except go to meetings and track their employees' vacation time. Their is no direction. Our CIO surrounds herself with weak management that won't do the right things. The last slap in the face has been rewriting the review process where everyone is scored to look like they are barely doing their jobs - except the popular ones. The scoring is Does not meet, Generally meets, Meets and sometimes exceeds, Consistently exceeds, and Far exceeds. Even the smart and hard workers get Generally meets. How's that for a moral boost?! Just another way to only give a 1% increase! Meanwhile the Directors and officers receive huge bonuses! If we are lucky enough to get the 1% increase, it doesn't even cover the cost of increase for our medical insurance.
