Pros
Great insurance and retirement benefits, great tuition discount for employees, spouses, and dependents, interesting work, flexible scheduling, and a great environment for learning!
Cons
Bad management can tend to thrive in this environment because the University is very willing to work with someone or reassign them rather than firing someone. In one unit where I worked, a manager with a lot of complaints was reassigned and then after a few years, reinstated back to management where the same problems arose. Luckily, once you have a job with the University, it is easy to transfer out of a unit with bad management to another with better management.
