Pros
Benefits/Salary are decent. I work as part of a great team of people in one of the academic science departments, all of my co-workers are great as well. The campus is beautiful. We get approximately 21 paid holiday days each year, on top of 2 weeks personal vacation time, and 1 sick day per month (which accumulates year to year). Plus the academic calendar allows for time off between semesters/over the summer easily.
Cons
One of the biggest shared gripes between employee's is the parking situation on campus. Everyone is assigned parking based on a specific lot to park in, as opposed to Faculty/staff - student parking (which is the way I think it should be). Over breaks and off-semester, sometimes it might be necessary to park closer to your office building than your assigned parking lot - Faculty and staff should not be ticketed while the students are away - but we are if we get caught parked in a lot we are not assigned to. Needs to be more consistent COLI's and merit increases on par with other major universities.
