Pros

* Good benefits * Pension * Good work/life balance

Cons

* Recent changes to pension are worrying for young employees far from retirement. (Will it be there when I retire?) * Salary is not on par with private sector - but that is to be expected from a public University. * Budget cuts are resulting in layoffs and general downsizing.
