Pros

Incredible working environment. Small campus. Friendly atmosphere. Beautiful campus. Well maintained. Access to world-class seminars, minds.

Cons

You have to pay for parking, about $500/year. You have to pay for the gym (now), about $40/month. The salaries should be higher; everyone works their butts off. The expectation is to work OT without extra pay.

Pros

Experience depends on Department and Professor. HSS is supportive of their employees, some great admins. Career development programs and other educational opportunities. Lots of brilliant researchers. Grad student and postdoc union.

Cons

The university is no longer supportive of HSS. Salary is typical for this position, which is bad. Departments are somewhat siloed, not so much collaboration. Federal funding cuts are having bad effects on operations and research.
