Pros

1. The university is easy to get to from anywhere in the city. 2. Nice looking university that is kept up well. 3. Loyal sports team following.

Cons

1. Pay is not up to par with most other research 1 universities. 2. Student to professor ratio is too high in my school. 3. High workload of advising students/serving on dissertation committees, double what is the norm, because of the high student to professor ratio.

Pros

Decent amount of PTO, free or discounted football tickets if that's your thing, lots of onsite events for employees to attend

Cons

Terrible/clueless management, very low pay, mismanaged IT infrastructure, does not punish bad behavior from co-workers/management/faculty, slow to fix problems of any kind. Touts inclusivity yet doesn't actually value it in practice.
