Pros

- Passionate, vibrant community - Many fun and engaging opportunities on campus - Beautiful work surroundings - Flexible schedule in comparison to private sector - Lots of vacation/pto time - Overall high quality of co-workers

Cons

- There is high turnover in my department as the staff salaries are not competitive enough to keep highly qualified people around. Also, there seems to be quite a few high level management and many lower level administrators, but not enough mid-level positions available. This makes it much more challenging to promote from within and many coworkers leave to other departments for professional growth.

Pros

The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

Cons

A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
