There are great benefits with healthcare, 8% company match to 403b, tuition benefits for self, partner and children.

Cons

There is virtually no option for remote working, high turnover within many areas of the university, low pay compared to other organizations in the area. People come get a discounted masters or their kids through school and then leave.

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.
