Pros

The campus is pretty with lots of green space. There are a ton of local events for both single people and family's.The health cost are low and it helps for those with kids.

Cons

Each department on campus is run completely different. Some of the departments are cutting edge and have good managerial staff others hmm... let just say the peter principal is at work. On average your pay is going to be on a slow truck from Georgia so i'd suggest you negotiate upfront for the money you need. The typical raise for an APA is like 1%. The work life balance is good for some and bad for others. The distribution of task is in need of review for IT jobs.
