Pros

The beauty of Logan. The people you work with, the family atmosphere of the team. Knowing that what you do everyday is positively contributing to others, helping them—the students, the community, the residents of Utah and the intermountain west—achieve their potential. Also the benefits don't hurt any.

Cons

Upper management's tendency to sometimes overlook the contributions of all their employees, not compensating everyone the level they deserve. The abuse of student workers by not paying them what they deserve, or giving them appropriate opportunities for advancement, even if it would benefit the university. The sometimes nepotistic or incestual nature of the university's hiring process. The inability of the university to fire truly incompetent people. The gradual erosion of health benefits. The fact that including more universities such as UVU and now Dixie is going to dilute the funding each university can receive from the state legislature for programs and projects.

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.
