Good benefits, crappy pay

Pros

Tons of vacation time if you're AAP, still a good amount if you're staff. Lots of holidays off, great retirement matching (10% if you contribute 3%) and free tuition.

Cons

Crappy pay, not a lot of room for growth, frustratingly traditional and glacial bureaucracy.

Pros

Decent benefits, work-life balance, opportunities for continuing education. Pretty easygoing environment, depending on where you work.

Cons

An extremely high amount of politics and turf battles. Very little turnover, so people are there for decades with little incentive to increase their knowledge or skills. The quality of work suffers due to very poor accountability. Little or no metrics for how well a job is being performed.
