Pros

Tuition remission - the only reason to work here is for the free tuition - either for yourself, your spouse, or your kids. Your work rarely comes home with you.

Cons

You need to know someone in order to get anything done - if you don't, you're screwed. Communication within and across departments is terrible. Every department is concerned about money.
