Pros

University as a whole is incredibly welcoming and does feel like a family. Flexible with being able to flex scheduling around life. As long as you are doing your job, you are able to do it with little supervision/micromanagement.

Cons

Not much opportunity for advancement, especially if you don't have a PhD. Depending on your department, the number of students in your caseload can vary dramatically. Pay based on amount of work you do compared to those working outside of higher ed is low.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
