Pros

Depends on the dept you are in, but some are extremely flexible. Tuition benefits have recently been gutted for most classes of employee, but used to be the big reason to endure the low salaries and minimal pay increases.

Cons

Low salaries, v hierarchical structure between job classes, not often much training or room for advancement.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
