Pros

Benefits and retirement. Work with some employees who truly care for the University.

Cons

On the contrary, some employees stay on the same role for long (10+ years) on the same position. The side effect to this is, they know it all and it must be done like that or else you are dragged into the politics side. Its a very political world, at the expense of tax money, etc. Worked on the Enterprise Project - which has not been managed properly- hint the extremely and unusually high turnover. I would ask some very detailed questions during the interview process. For this type of career, I recommend else where given your potential to grow and challenge yourself - which is part of a BA career path.

Pros

Working in my field providing essential and engaging learning experiences to graduate and undergraduate students. Still maintain strong relationships with colleagues and former students.

Cons

Unsafe work environment where harassment, when reported, is ignored and verbal and physical threats that were reported were also ignored. With no safe avenue for reporting it is a terrible place to work.
