Pros

Your experience on a daily basis is positive if your department is good. Love and respect coworkers. Enjoy the students. All very smart and dedicated. Great opportunities for Student Assistants.

Cons

The internal systems make it impossible to get your job done in a timely and effective manner. Too many mid-level managers. Academia seems to have little understanding of how real world works. Values credentials not experience. Salary is embarrassingly low. Rely on second household income to survive.
