      Pros

      Good school for a graduate student. The school has good research facilities. The school has good athletics facilities or students that are very reasonably priced.

      Cons

      If you pay tuition to go to school as a graduate student then it can be expensive.

      Pros

      The quality of life that you gain working here is the main reason to stay. It is fantastic to get to see your family. There is encouragement for exploring new ideas that are not necessarily immediately relevant to daily duties. The University makes an effort to allow its employees to manage their own time as professionals. There is a great financial discount for continuing one's own education.

      Cons

      There is a disparity between genders in many positions. Salaries are definitely below industry averages for non-educational institutions. It is quite difficult to navigate the political landscape to effect substantive changes in the day to day operations of the University.
