Pros

fair amount of autonomy in working with client groups

Cons

pay not competitive; highly siloed organization; lack of consistency in management policies and practices; divisive culture; professional level employees carry heavy workloads and receive minimal support and embarrassingly low annual increases. Lack of strategy for developing talent in the middle. Faculty and Union take priority at all turns.

Pros

Great resources and smart people create an awesome environment to foster learning!

Cons

Depending on department pressure on graduate students might be very high, but I guess that's the case at any university.
