Pros

Telecommuting option for some job functions, decent pay, flexible hours, interesting work.

Cons

They have trouble firing people, so youre left to deal with terrible coworkers that have been here 20 years and are completely unproductive. Change is slow because of people like this. Raises have been on the decline the past few years due to the economy. The attitude of "at least we are giving raises - if you dont like it you can go TRY to find a job elsewhere" seems prevalent.

Pros

Higher Ed has avoided the economic downturn and GW as easily weathered the storm. Good retirement plan and generous vacation.

Cons

Constant leadership changes makes for turbulence and job instability. In a crisis there is always a fall guy. HR works for the Administration and employees have almost no recourse.
