Pros
Very predictable schedule and low stress. Working in an education environment can be rewarding at times. Some of the people who worked in my department were great to work with and great people overall.
Cons
Zero chances for upward mobility. Even with all positive reviews, tiny 'merit based' raises (under 2 percent most years). Lower level employees do all of the actual work, department managers are useless and only function to defend their jobs they've had for decades. President/CEO (by the way, what other school's President also calls themselves the CEO??) is a tyrant who every department manager is somehow terrified of, so they go along with whatever backwards ideas she has. Handled COVID horrendously, completely changing work situation and rules around work from home and safety on an almost weekly basis in 2020. HR will vehemently defend the President/CEO's constantly changing whims at employee's expense.
