Pros

Beautiful location Generous medical benefits and vacation allotment. Tuition reimbursement for permanent employees. General acceptance of working from home (at least in my area) Intelligent co-workers University activities available to staff for free/at a discount (sports, art, learning)

Cons

Bureaucracy - getting hired can take from several weeks to several months. HelpSU (the university help desk) is nearly useless, unless you prod them hard and/or often.

Pros

The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

Cons

A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
