Pros

Higher education is an interesting place to work, managing the finance and administration of a large department can be challenging.

Cons

Bureaucracy, office politics common in any large organization. Finances, salaries can be at the whim of the state legislature, keeping them low and non-competitive resulting in high turnover.

Pros

There are some good programs, and there are some isolated bright spots, e.g. some middle of the road programs have some very good professors. Although it is not a top tier school, it has everything you need.

Cons

There are some mediocre programs. Basic funding of science departments is lacking; they relay on grants to prop themselves up. Since not all departments have superstars like Chemistry does, they suffer.
