      Pros

      If you like throwing 1000% of your entire life into your job, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Admission standards are extremely low, which leads to a lack of rigor in the major courses. Also fond of stacking the adminstration with rejects from law and business, cutting tenure-track positions left and right. Threatens female employees with termination if they speak to anyone about being sexually harassed.

      Pros

      The tuition benefit is excellent. Your entire family can get their college degrees. The vacation time is good as well along with many holidays and an extended break over Christmas and New Years.

      Cons

      Salaries are low (unless you are senior management or a professor) and there is not really a way for a real raise as increases are across the board approved by the board and are 2% so whether you are an outstanding employee or dead weight you will get the same raise. Senior management is out of touch with reality when hiring new employees and relies to much on the tuition benefit to significantly undercut starting pay.
