Pros

Stuck in the past, if you enjoyed the 2000's and want to relive it

Cons

Any employee with ideas or hope for improvement is punished and made to feel ostracized. The administration is more interested in insulating themselves from students and low-level employees so that they do not have to deal with the consequences of their disastrous policies and skyrocketing tuition.

Pros

Drive to work was quick.

Cons

The buildings and what you see all look nice until you are actually are working there. You are just a warm body working they do not care anything about you. If you ever question anything even once you are black listed. Save your dignity and go some where else. Decisions they make are all for themselves to make money, you are nothing.

Pros

Treat you well. Raises are a yearly thing--gotten one every year I've been here. Better the university does, the better the raises are. University also keeps an eye on the market of your position, so if they feel that your position is "falling behind" in pay overall across the country, they will bump the overall pay grade up to keep it competitive.

Cons

When they bump the pay-grade up, *everyone* get bumped--so more experienced workers do end up making the same or only very a little bit more than newbies. In AZ, the $ is not posted in open positions, while in IL it is--different kind of job market (AZ is at-will while IL is not). Moving up is can be difficult if only because there are just only a few positions. Timing just has to be right.
