Pros

Good benefits atleast on paper ; free food; training opportunities though they come laced with strings, Yale name brand on your CV.

Cons

Working at Yale's Environmental health and Safety has been my single most bitter professional experience so far. Its only after leaving Yale, I realized how much professionally I was setback. Added to this is the corrosive effect of prejudice in the form of micro-aggressions that I had to encounter on a daily basis. Complaining to HR is a big joke and they clearly are in bed with the managers.

Pros

Great benefits. Reasonable compensation and paid time off

Cons

too many naive employees who have never worked in the professional world are in positions they would've never qualified for otherwise. Very hostile political climate. Culture shock from the corporate world. Beurocratic painfully unaware and uninformed business practices for such a prestigious university.
