Pros

The benefits are good and the reputation of PSU is somehow still fairly positive throughout the world.

Cons

Penn State is caught in a never ending loop of red-tape. The waste is staggering, and their inability to efficiently execute any task is unbelievable. I operate a multi-million dollar research center, yet am paralyzed by rules and policies that have nothing to do with my operation. They are afraid of law suits and over react to simple requests. Stay Far Away!
