Pros

MIT is a wonderful place to work. If you are in admin staff you can count on solid opportunities for career development, generous vacation benefits, and great people around every corner. I have taken advantage of the TAP program (Tuition Reimbursement) and the pension and for many years used MIT Medical which has a small-town, caring, competent staff.

Cons

Performance reviews can be something you need to ask for. Dealing with some of the Ivory Tower perspectives can be maddening.
