Pros

14% contribution toward retirement funds. Lots of vacation days you will never use.

Cons

Benefits are adequate for academia but sub-par for industry. Salaries are comparable to other universities in cities with lower cost of living, but much lower than industry averages. The number of processes managed through paperwork and the complications of the financial systems are embarrassingly antiquated.

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.
