      Pros

      Good retention of employees with offering of opportunities for students. Whole town still maintains a very small town-like atmosphere. Decent stipends generally available for graduate students, depending on area. Can be a friendly and helpful atmosphere.

      Cons

      Superiors are not always as well qualified as they would like to think. Many appointments based more on who they know or who they were before joining the university than what they can actually do. (This is applicable in many of the administrator positions) Egos make it difficult to have any real progress.

      Pros

      Fun atmosphere Great co-workers Flexible scheduling Good work/life balance Benefits are excellent Compensation is usually very good

      Cons

      HIGHLY political, decisions are made based on who benefits, not what's best for the university Peter principle is alive and well Promotions are not earned, they are given. Better hope you're connected to the right people to advance.
