Pros

Benefits (not as good as the State, but great compared to private industry). Flexibility (at least in my dept). Being part of the campus community. Opportunities for advancement and continued education.

Cons

Departments/colleges all function very independently, so there isn't a lot of consistency between departments. Pros in my dept may not be pros in another dept, and vice versa. A lot of people grumble and don't appreciate what we have, because they've never worked anywhere else so they think the grass is always greener.
