      Pros

      It is a collegial environment. Provides online access to most journals. Offices are fine and pay is OK, not great. Benefits are good but pay attention to Retirement benefits. I worked there 12 years and wouldn't have been vested in retirement savings but fortunately, I chose the pension and was fully vested in that.

      Cons

      At least in the location I worked at my facility Supervisors obstructed my ability to pursue good opportunities multiple times. They played favorites. I hope it has changed since I left as management has changed.

      Pros

      They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

      Cons

      Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
