Pros

-Beautiful campus -Friendly fellow employees -Great attentive employers who will listen to your suggestions and implement them fairly quickly. Idea turnaround/innovation is great here. -Everything is fairly centralized and close to each other; there isn't much travel time between locations. -Training sessions are paid and fun!

Cons

-Sometimes high-stress workload -Expected to fix too many problems with too little resources (too little manpower). -Sometimes understaffed -Not much room to climb up (expected, though).

Pros

Great benefits, time off, and relative stability

Cons

Complacency, inept leadership, a low regard (financially) for managerial and professional staff and despite the name, there isn't anything groundbreaking being done here outside of academia and medicine. Administrative staff are certainly the bottom rung and it is felt. Most people can't/won't leave because of the golden handcuffs - amazing benefits, time off and it's likely paying for their children's college education.
