Pros

Academic vivacity. Collegial and intellectual enthusiasm. Good benefits. Strong job security.

Cons

Paucity of management and leadership skills. Isolated clusters of power, based on ego and attention for central funding, compounded by a lack of hierarchical conflict resolution. Singular focus on academic leadership and research dollars, with little awareness or support of administrative and business infrastructure.
