Pros

It all comes down to which department you work for. It runs like a mini city. Some departments are way better than others and there can be a huge pay disparity between departments for the same job. They have ok benefits.

Cons

Whatever you do, stay away from Housing and Hospitality Services. The Assistant Vice Chancellor believes that he’s paying you out of his own pocket and is so stingy with raises. You can only get a raise if you threaten to leave with an offer letter from another place. Management is toxic and their belief is that you should be so lucky you have a job.

Pros

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Cons

Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
