Pros
Excellent benefits and (at least in my area) compensation within market range; Rewarding mission to serve education in positive and innovative ways; People who care and (for the most part) have a shared spirit of collaboration and teamwork; Management (at least in my area) that tries extremely hard to develop people and support their growth; Rapid change over the last several years that was both exciting and rewarding to be a part of
Cons
Support areas of the organization always struggling to keep up with operational demands and priority shifts; Deadlines set (and often non-negotiable for reasons sometimes understandable and sometimes not) prior to full analysis of all that would be needed for execution and with little room for prioritization or more agile approach to execution and delivery; Areas of the organization embrace change while other areas resist it or fail to actively participate in it (and then complain about it); The strongest, most talented people carry the lionshare of the work and get burnt out rather quickly; Leadership team appears aligned in spirit but not always in practice, and there has been little change/turnover at that level for several years
