Pros

ASU is a large institution with plenty of resources. People who I work with are friendly.

Cons

ASU is a tough environment right now due to budget cuts in the state and for those pursuing the tenure-track route, the expectations are ridiculous.

Pros

Good benefits and nice location in the Phoenix Valley area. Salary OK.

Cons

Bad management from the top down. Due to bad management and bad economy approx 2000 employees have been let go, departments downsized or merged into other departments, salaries reduced and more cuts to come. You can feel the tension on campus. Everyone is afraid of loosing their jobs. In my department top management did not know what they were doing. People suffered, clients were lost.
