Benefits, especially the tuition benefit

Managers receive no training so the employee experience is very uneven; a recent anti-bullying initiative was introduced to address the toxic aspects of the culture

Pros

The benefits are nice and most departments are open to letting their staff work from home when there is no reason to be on site.

Cons

The university has had a lot of high turnover in recents years since and have had a hard time keeping good employees with them. I have seen employees join departments and leave within months due to lack of training and support. This coupled with a mountain of work and the added expectation of fixing the mistakes of all the previous employees before them, it's no wonder people are leaving for better opportunities.
