      I have not made the progress that is needed due to cultural resistance to change.

      Pros

      Management can be influenced with carefully prepared metrics and arguments, though this is costly to do for all proposals and projects. There are good benefits and relatively good job security.

      Cons

      Common business efficiency objectives are not uniformly held. Academic freedom is touted as a birthright, but it seems irrelevant for non-academics. Back office staff really should focus on optimizing operations and saving resources. There is not much diversity. Parking must be paid for.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Access to a number of facilities and resources that are cutting edge, also a lot of financial and administrative resources.

      Cons

      Relationships can be brisk with professors and others in managing, power positions. Lots of pressure to produce in a little time. Some areas of the university are not the most collegial, when it comes to working together.
