Pros

The college campus atmosphere, the gifted people who work here, the opportunity to create and witness history being made. Oh, and the deer everywhere. Tuition re-imbursement is good here, 5,250 per year for BA/BS and 10,000 per year for Masters or PhD. The paid time-off vacation, sick and holiday are pretty standard with 3 weeks off ater 5 years of service and 4 weeks off after 10 years of service. You can accumulate up to 320 hours of vacation. You get 1 week off per year for sick time and you can accumulate 960 hours. there are 11 standard holidays off, indluding 1 personal dat per year.

Cons

Red Tape, dead wood, some bad management. Morale. Griffin.
