Pros

A lot of great people, wonderful and excited students, a lot of school spirit in a great place to live.

Cons

The school is very focused on business and sports rather than academics. Very low pay for high-level teaching forces many to leave. Department budgets are tiny in comparison to sports and new building budgets ($300 Million for stadium renovations and no money/cuts for academics). Too much of the school's budget is spent on the football stadium/new buildings and too little on crucial teaching and research faculty. The ASU Board of Regents is heavily from the business-community and too little from the academic community. Their business goals are reflected in their monetary decisions.

Pros

Great exposure to aspects of higher education and perfecting public speaking, presentation, and communication skills.

Cons

No reward for productivity, work more than 40 hours per week for an entry level position with no opportunities of promotion/raise. This leads to extremely high turnover.
