The retirement plan and benefits

Slowly returning to in office work, too much money is spent on useless gifts and not on training for certifications. Paying for parking and the high cost of food on campus.

Pros

Great benefits, beautiful campus, lots of employee events and opportunities for growth available if you know where to look

Cons

Many employees have been there for decades and do not prioritize mentoring new staff or improving existing systems. Depending on your department, you may need to seek professional development through campus-wide initiatives or promotion opportunities from other departments.
