Pros

If you like the University environment, there is no better place to work. There are so many things to do on campus. Staff was generally friendly and the students are motivated with motivating stories.

Cons

During certain seasons, the work/life balance was non-existence. It would be great if there was some more flexibility with work hours.

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.
