Pros

Beautiful campus, wonderful community, incredible benefits package. This is an environment where, if you can find a department you mesh well with and work you enjoy you could quite easily make a career here until you retire.

Cons

Incompetent management, low pay, bizarre politics. The variation in quality and competency in management varies so widely that it's sometimes difficult to keep in mind that it's one big organization. Many of the most infamous managers have been retained through the same sort of policy of staff-shuffling observed in the Catholic Church: Abusive managers are moved rather than disciplined or terminated.

Professors are chill. Getting in one year means you'll most likely get it again next yet.

Cons

Getting the job the first time seems like pure luck of the draw... knowing the professor helps a lot.
