Pros

Tremendous potential to be a "rising star." Students for the most part are loyal fans to their alma mater.

Cons

Level of achievement is barely secondary level among most undergraduates. Some (less than 2% from my experience with upper level undergrads) are working at collegiate levels. Too much hand-holding of students by faculty. Department in which I work lacks transparency. Very little colleaguery. Egos and class division prevail. As research increases, teachers (for whom this university has been known) are becoming persona non-grata.

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.
