Pros

Very good gob security. Full benefits package. None of the typical industry/service rat race problems you find in the private sector.

Cons

Position and salary growth growth can be painfully slow but it is consistent. The university departments that are there to support employees hearts are in the right place but they have the same problems as a company that is much smaller in size. General disorganization, not knowing enough about their job to fully support you, underpaid. it is a typical state job but i think they do care about you when you can get their full attention.

Pros

You have a job - that's better than not having a job

Cons

I worked with the higher administration in JCK on the 10th floor and everyone up there thinks they are better than everyone else. They are hateful, and gossip about everyone. There is no loyalty and you never know who you can trust. You're always trying to watch your back and that's no way to live. Those people are vicious.

Pros

The insurance is good, and the campus is very pretty. The university also encourages being healthy and allows time each day for staff members to use for exercise.

Cons

Many staff members have been with the university for long periods of time and are both resistant to technology and changes needed to keep a business running and spur productivity. Younger staff members are often treated poorly, and new ideas or ways to improve productivity through technology are often ignored, specifically in departments with little student involvement (especially in the university administration departments). Younger employees are treated as if they are threats to more seasoned employees in some offices, which creates tension and discord in the office. Because of these and many additional issues, the younger employee turnover rate is higher.
