Business outlook
Pros
The university culture is somewhat more relaxed than in the industry. Obviously, one's situation depends greatly on what department you are with. The benefits include access to resources such as the university library, recreational sports facilities, etc. Employees have access to a 457(b) retirement plan, which is a nice supplement to the usual 403(b) (which is a non-profit counterpart to the industry 401(k))
Cons
1) It's in New Jersey... 2) No matter how flexible and understanding your immediate management may be, there are also various university rules and polices, which sometimes help and sometimes hurt.
