Pros

Hours were flexible, work is fun, the group of people are awesome. The social activities outside work were the best part of the job.

Cons

Bosses can be overly strict, sometimes the schedule can be difficult to work with, pay is pretty low for the amount of work.

Pros

beautiful campus mostly nice staff and students importance of work life balance and health emphasized for all w/ a good manager, encouragement and guidance for work improvement/promotion is possible great place to network w/ different departments

Cons

parking is expensive and unfair - too many As, not enough Cs. C / shared lots are always full where as there are always so many empty As. Waste of space! snobby, sense of entitlement from faculty administrative employees hardly appreciated/noted cutbacks seems to impact certain departments more than others

Pros

Beautiful working environment. Flexible working schedule. generous vacation and sick leave time. tuition benefit of your kids for college. In general, people are nice. Good place to work after 40.

Cons

too relax. Not much challenge. high premium for medical insurance. Too many people are not really working for anything, or not productive at all.
