Business Outlook
Pros
The people. They are smart and work well together for the most part. The work can be interesting. The benefits package is great.
Cons
Promotion is tenure based not performance (though performance is taken into account). Pay is mediocre for support staff while research staff seem to be well taken care of. This divide is present elsewhere: research staff are viewed (and view themselves) as above others. We were actually called "the invisible people" by an older researcher who was trying to explain how important we are to her work.
