Pros

NC State has great benefits, and is very flexible, depending on your department and duties. It's overall been a great place to work, though advancement has been a challenge.

Cons

This is a place of silos, one department or college may have way more resources than the one in which you are working, which means difference in salaries, job titles, duties and what you're allowed to do. You are greatly limited by your department's budget - and they're not all equal. Raises and bonuses, are practically non-existent, and in order to advance, you often have to leave the university and come back years later. Not an environment where "working your way up" works as it should. Often, you're working your way out - over to another university, and then maybe years later back into a higher position. Hiring takes forever in some departments.

Pros

The salary was better than my subsequent teaching salary. Great lab facilities.

Cons

My PI constantly claimed that they hated their job, spent all their time on social media, and told us we needed to do better. My fellow postdoc kept asking me if our PI actually had a PhD. There is still a lot of misogyny in science and I am one of the women who left the "pipeline" due to harassment, abusive behavior, and zero career support.

Pros

The campus is a great place to work.

Cons

no significant raise vs cost of living: you end up making less money than when you started. Management only care for themself. A absurd amount of money goes into buying AV equipment.
