Pros

Excellent Benefits, OT has to be approved; not SOP, excellent training opportunities, and one class free per semester if accepted into the University. Excellent vacation and PTO program.

Cons

University will shut down classes due to foul weather; let the faulty and executive management stay home. But force administrative (secretaries, etc) drive in inclement weather even if you are non-essential. I worked a position that had the level of responsibility of an executive assistant but the title and pay did not match. They also have the habit of hiring student wives vs. promoting locals all ready experience and wanting to move up. New employees get paid the same or more than veterans.
