Pros

The University of California at Davis provides an atmosphere of excellence. Some of the best and the brightest minds work here.

Cons

Davis is a smaller town, so it may not provide access to all of the amenities that larger cities can provide.

Pros

* Good benefits * Pension * Good work/life balance

Cons

* Recent changes to pension are worrying for young employees far from retirement. (Will it be there when I retire?) * Salary is not on par with private sector - but that is to be expected from a public University. * Budget cuts are resulting in layoffs and general downsizing.
