Pros
For staff: generous retirement benefits, diverse jobs available, generally competitive salaries (for higher education). Good education benefits for self and dependents, some respect for work-life balance.
Cons
Highly bureaucratic top-down management styles pervade -- starting from the overall leadership of the university trickling on down into many groups and departments. The "BUreaucracy" may have changed faces and styles over the years but it is alive and well. Change can be hard to fund and harder still to implement unless it is a mandate from above -- and even those mandates are generally the work of years of consultants and committees. Not a dynamic environment.
