Pros
Great benefits (dental/medical/retirement/tuition discount), generous leave (annual/sick/pregnancy), friendly coworkers/boss, overall very helpful team who will fight for you when you're clients get a bit too pushy. Transitioning to another college is easy if the opportunity arises. Paid travel to Seattle and different, informative/fun events when the business calls for it. Strong team ethic.
Cons
Each position comes with about 3 tiers of acceptable wages based on regions and annual review ratings. Once you reach the maximum tier, you cannot be paid more. The only option then is to find a new job. I understand how this can simplify things for WSU, but it makes negotiating wage increases difficult, even when it is obvious that one should be paid more. To further this problem, the chain of command is very dense, which is often used as an excuse not to give wage increases (e.g. "It's out of my control").
