Pros

Good healthcare benefits, convenient location if you live on the Peninsula, beautiful campus

Cons

A serious lack of investment in their staff. The university does not value staff happiness or retention and there is constant turnover and a lack of support, as well as a lack of job training. There is very little opportunity for upward mobility and growth and a lack of professional development opportunities.
