Beautiful college campus, education atmosphere, benefits, sporting events, cultural events, most of the people are wonderful and engaging,

Cons

salary is okay but could be better, too many people are promoted because of length of service and not on quality of work and ability to lead, parking stinks, communication/collaboration between departments is marginal at best, secretive and last minute communication

Pros

Like the work I do and the people I work with. Activity fluctuates along the typical school calendar with the summer being slower.

Cons

You are expected to jump into change without asking questions. Even when a reason/justification on why or how you are doing something is met with a tone of "I don't care, Do what I said". Direct supervisor and colleagues are great and have your back. Many staff positions don't have a way to move up the career ladder.
