Pros

- You are helping others - Great Salary and Benefits - Some really nice people to work for and with - Feels like campus life. Plenty of opportunities to move up if you get with the right department.

Cons

- If you end up with the wrong department, things can go left quickly - Unfortunately with these "bad" departments no room for growth - "Bad" Departments has poor leadership, micromanage and terrible behaviors unbecoming of what a manager should be. Strongly recommend doing your research prior to saying yes to a job/find out what institute or department prior to.

Pros

People are generally friendly, the schedule flexibility is pretty good

Cons

The current administration is not good at managing anything. Their directives constantly change and leave us with more work and less output.
