Pros

I worked at Utah State University full-time more than 4 years. Easy to work and low life expense and little work.

Cons

The faculty's ability is very low and they can't get the funding and the good pulbication even though the state and university invest enough grant funding. Most of student and post researcher can't learn accurate principle of the science and the student and postdoc can't improve his abililty. In the future, unversity should change the invitation system of faculty to make high level of professor come. The faculty level is terrible.

Pros

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

Cons

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.
