Pros

The employee benefits are fantastic - great retirement options and health insurance, plus lots of vacation time (depends on your pay grade, etc.).

Cons

Parking can be challenging and navigating around the students on the streets can be a bit nerve racking at times.

Pros

Depending on the department there's lots of flexibility regarding schedules and working from home. Tuition remission was why I wanted to work there.

Cons

Hard to get a job. Many of the positions are filled by people who are unqualified but have been working in the department. The pay is really low.
