Pros

The employees and most of the managers are laid back and understanding. Work schedules are flexible and they permit 4-day workweeks and telecommuting.

Cons

With recent university budget cuts, most employees have mandatory furlough days. If you like a 3-day weekend once in a while, it isn't so bad but sometimes you just don't want to lose a day's pay. Also, there is a lot of bureaucracy mandated by the state.
