Pros

Your experience can really vary depending on what department you work in. My experience was not that bad because I worked under a very good business manager that ran the business side of the department very well. I learned a lot about grant management. If you have a positive attitude and treat people with respect, you'll do well. Benefits are also pretty good.

Cons

Some coworkers can gossip a lot and cause an uncomfortable work environment. Pay can also be on the low side compared to other universities in the tri-state area. Especially if you move around internally vs being hired from the outside. Your experience will heavily depend on the department that you work in. This can be a bad thing because if the department is poorly run, your work life will become very unpleasant.
