Pros

A large and stable employer with great benefits. Very little overtime or work outside of regular business hours. Being part of UC's mission can be more rewarding than typical jobs.

Cons

Probably not the best place for ambitious, type A's. Can be a unique environment, and difficult for some people to adjust to. A lot of things being done a certain for the sole reason that they've always been done that way

Pros

Ample vacation/sick. Can use vacation. Hard work is recognized. Opportunities to grow. Discount off of tuition. Open to change in some departments. Regular hours in most departments.

Cons

Increased pension contributions each year without regular raises to offset this and inflation. 8% of salary before taxes now taken to contribute to pension. Pension is a great option if you plan stay 5+ years, however, with that same amount you could invest on your own so not as much of a benefit as it once was. No paid maternity. Very political.
