Pros

Great learning opportunities and environment. It's a good place to work and a great way to get half-tuition, and let's not forget a great mountain valley close to fun places and far enough to feel like a small town. But if you do not like the small town feel and low pay (it comes at a cost) then I wouldn't recommend it.

Cons

Pay is low, but it is a small town feel and has great benefits that are super affordable!

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.
