      Pros

      Work with knowledgable faculty. Great area to live in. Most people are friendly and happy to work with you.

      Cons

      There are always people you want to avoid because tenure allows people to be selfish and rude to co-workers. Avoid these people at all costs. No matter their research connections.

      Pros

      Great benefits: free tuition each semester, 401(k) matching plan, vacation and sick day earnings every pay period (up to 170 hrs of each a year)... The people are quite amazing. They're not in it for the money, they're there for the students and the camaraderie that comes with education. And Tallahassee is a beautiful town full of everything from a bustling college town to the rivers for canoe trips and beaches within 45 minutes. As an FSU employee, you also get discounts to events around town and free entry to all women's sports!

      Cons

      The salary expectations can be relatively low and bonuses/merit increases are rare. Departments may get 1-2 merit increases for their entire staff a year. There's an unequal distribution of funding among the departments. And, like any university, a lot of politics and behind-the-curtain deals are necessary to keep things moving. As far as the administrative side is concerned, it can be difficult to move up if you're not either politically savvy or extremely focused on waiting out the end game.
