Pros
Good benefits (although they have been reduced systematically over the past few years). A few departments are "staff" friendly and have decent managers.
Cons
Executive management have a guarded and authoritarian management style (“my way or the highway”). The ROI or bottom line has become more important than loyalty to exemplary and commendable employees. The university president has become more concerned with securing donations than fostering a true spirit and environment of camaraderie and family (as there once was), and not just paying it lip-service. Over the past few years, I've seen a growing number of long-term, dedicated, hardworking and talented staff discarded strictly for budgetary reasons. Then younger, less experienced staff are hired at much lower salaries. This has a demoralizing affect campus-wide.
