Cautionary Tale

Pros

- Excellent benefits package - Many high profile academics and other speakers visit campus regularly to give talks, contributing to an overall academic vibe in a cool way - A low pressure environment that is accented with high pressure moments

Cons

- Salaries are generally low, but I don't know how this compares to other institutions of higher education - No career tracks to progress through and minimal opportunities for promotion. It seems like most employees do shallow, diagonal moves - Administrative bureaucracy that prioritizes "the rules" ahead of practical implementations (that do in fact follow the rules)

Pros

Great work environment, very laid back with great co-workers and supervisors that want you to succeed. Many opportunities for continuing education and a great place to gather experience

Cons

Compensation is not commensurate with experience and significant raises are not likely. Can be difficult to advance if working on the research side
