Pros

Flexible environment, lots of smart people, lot of dumb people. Very big place so YMMV in different departments - very decent benefits although things are changing.

Cons

Very difficult to advance without transferring around to different departments. A lot of deadwood employees just hanging around to collect retirement. Having to deal with faculty can be a headache sometimes.

Pros

Nice-looking campus, benefits and retirement pension, job security, good work-life balance.

Cons

As a public institution, there is no innovation or newness within the office; neither the aesthetics nor general operations.
