OK if you're fine with working for a Soviet bureaucracy
Pros
Plentiful time off flexible hours Good state retirement benefits Tuition disbursement
Cons
1-2% raises. Staff are lowest on the totem pole. University has no qualms about screwing employees who worked hard for 26 years. Middle management is good but McRobbie will always do whatever the trustees say. the trustees have no sense of what things are like outside of board rooms, so you can imagine that as a ground level employee you will periodically get utterly moronic dictats from on high that no one had the will to question. Holcomb as governor means even less state funding than before, especially with STEM fetishism, so just accept your pay will barely track cost of living increases. You will love the people in the trenches with you, but be mindful that they are indeed trenches.
