Pros

Good facilities, great engineering school.

Cons

The administration is awful. Most of the upper admins fly by the seat of their pants. Instead of being proactive, they are reactive. Policies are written after things occur, rather than to foreseeing possible problems. They pay is horrible. The benefits are very good. Very rarely do you get a question answered as an employee without receiving the run-around. Administration takes days, and sometimes weeks to return phone calls or emails.

Pros

Friendly, supportive environment — it's a very friendly work environment with helpful faculty members, and many reviewers mention a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

Low stipend/pay — the stipend is relatively low compared to similar positions at other universities, and it's described as needing greater stability.
