Pros

Tuition benefit, great work-life balance, great location

Cons

No union for admin staff, low pay, toxic leadership and bureaucratic management. Heavy process-oriented for simple decisions. high turnover in many admin positions. Health benefits are worse than peer institutions. Poor career advancement opportunities for admin staff who do not have PhD, substantial work experience or does not come from a competing University.
