Business Outlook
Pros
Flexible work environment that allows hybrid work; many opportunities to learn and work on a great variety of tasks; good work environment (mostly depending on team members).
Cons
If you work on grant funded projects, the opportunities for growth are mostly limited to faculty members. Staff depend on getting more grants to continue their work, or getting hired onto a different funded project. Vacation time is extremely low compared to the private sector. Working parents need to spend a lot of money on childcare. Paid maternity leave is limited to being allowed to take your vacation and sick days off when you give birth - everyone returns when their baby is 3months at most.
