Pros

Virtually impossible to get fired from the job.

Cons

The only people that care about your success are the corporals. Everyone else is in their positions biding their time until retirement. Pay is pitiful. Your introductory wage is your ceiling wage. No promotion opportunities.

Pros

The University has a good health insurance plan. (I was employed earlier than 2011, but there was no option for that here.)

Cons

Coming from private enterprise, I was completely unprepared for the emphasis on degrees and tenure, rather than initiative and innovation. No way to advance except by gaining more initials and length of "incarceration". I left to pursue the greater opportunities in the private sector, and it worked out much better. Parking is frustratingly inadequate.

Business Outlook

Pros

14% contribution toward retirement funds. Lots of vacation days you will never use.

Cons

Benefits are adequate for academia but sub-par for industry. Salaries are comparable to other universities in cities with lower cost of living, but much lower than industry averages. The number of processes managed through paperwork and the complications of the financial systems are embarrassingly antiquated.
