It is a very unique and talented community, and researchers are always welcome to explore their interests and develop their skills.

Pros

Strong focus on work-life balance. Lots of benefits-- solid medical and dental. Great environment if you like being around academics. Not a corporate environment. Very stable.

Cons

There is almost no room to grow beyond a certain (mid-level) position. Focus is on faculty, who have nearly all the high-level positions. Mid-to-upper management is most concerned with keeping things running-- not on innovating systems. That effort is put in on the academic side. Staff positions are primarily support staff-- perpetuating low-income brackets.
