Pros

Great people to work with; working on shifting the culture towards more flexible work options, work-life balance. You will be respected and appreciated at Purdue. From the start supervisors want to help you with your career goals. Good medical benefits if you are in Indiana.

Cons

LOW pay (compared to market and inflation) No longer on state pension, retirement 403b Tuition discount is meh (dependents only get 50% resident tuition, awful if they are non-resident) LOTS if changes in senior leadership (new president 2023, losing a great VP presently, etc)
