Pros

Creativity is encouraged. Small team environment. Committee work is helping to try new areas to branch out into. The people can be a great plus if you find friends. The university covers tuition for master's degree after some time in the role.

Cons

The culture is not very welcoming of new approaches. Very top-heavy decision making. Expressing support but when it's needed it's no longer available. No opportunity for career growth.
