Pros

The benefits are great and there are lots of smart and helpful folks as your colleagues.

Cons

No union for admin (only library & grad students) so there is no collective bargaining. Annual raises are called "merit raises" and are only 3% which is likely decent for most places but with inflation since pandemic, you're losing money remaining here.
