Pros

They offer decent benefits and you get an employee card that you can use to buy lunch on campus. You get several holidays off.

Cons

Nice on the outside but old inside. The classrooms and offices really need updating. Pay is not so great. Make sure you ask for what you want in pay. Don't lowball.
