Pros

The insurance is good, and the campus is very pretty. The university also encourages being healthy and allows time each day for staff members to use for exercise.

Cons

Many staff members have been with the university for long periods of time and are both resistant to technology and changes needed to keep a business running and spur productivity. Younger staff members are often treated poorly, and new ideas or ways to improve productivity through technology are often ignored, specifically in departments with little student involvement (especially in the university administration departments). Younger employees are treated as if they are threats to more seasoned employees in some offices, which creates tension and discord in the office. Because of these and many additional issues, the younger employee turnover rate is higher.

Pros

- you get to say you work for a university - they are inclusive i guess

Cons

Make no mistake: they do not care about you. You can give them 10 years of your life and they can dissolve your 'contract' on a whim. You will be working outside your contract ~1 month/year if you want to actually do your job. The benefits package is worthless, there aren't even any doctors in network within a 50 mile radius except some holistic practice and one guy with awful reviews. Most people you work with will be incompetent (many of the teaching faculty), and if you are good at your job you will wind up doing theirs too.
