Good benefits, but pay/work balance could be better
Pros
- Free healthcare (yes, you read that correctly) - Extremely inexpensive dental, eye care - Part of the TRS pension system - Hybrid schedule saves you from two days of commuting
Cons
- Although they say pay is based on the market, it's a bit lower than where the market truly is - If you have worked in higher education before, you know that lots of people want their hands in your projects. Same applies here. - Faculty are also doctors so you've got to deal with some very large egos - Busy work is given to me despite more pressing jobs needing to be completed - Parking in the Texas Medical Center is extremely expensive (over $1,200/year and that's one of the more affordable options) and not subsidized by the organization - Long, stressful commute depending on where you live
