      Some great people, lots of laudable goals - both of which suffer at the hands of management either mediocre or hostile.

      Pros

      Generally good benefits, decent compensation for many positions. Always a lot going on. Being on campus has a lot of perks - fun events, free food, an energetic environment. Shuttles to metro stations not bad (though they run infrequently).

      Cons

      Your experience depends almost entirely on your supervisor, and many of them - especially middle management - are horrendous. Financial constraints on the University make pay raises few and far between and there are no clear pathways for career advancement for most positions.

      Pros

      Good benefits, flexible hours. This school is well-known in the region. Close to academic env, so very refershing and young.

      Cons

      Lack of accountability and organizational goals. Week management. Lack of professionalism. Personal favors. Bullying at work is a very serious problem.
