Pros
Great benefits. I had the opportunity to complete a Master's Degree due to my tuition reimbursement benefits. Other benefits are great as well, such as a discount on car insurance, health insurance, etc. As a strong academic institution, there are many opportunities to further yourself in addition to classes through lectures, seminars and guest speakers. Employees are motivated to assist students and their overall dedication for the students well-being can be inspiring.
Cons
New employees to the university enter highly motivated to assist students. Weathered employees tend to count the days until their retirement. The University has dramatically changed over the past 10 years (physically and ideologically). Many weathered employees (those who have worked for 3+ years) tend to resist change and fight new ideas. Movement up the ladder is not easy. Often you need to get the attention of senior management to be considered for a higher position, whether you are qualified or not. Although administrators try to assist students in their needs, administrators tend to give the "NU Shuffle" to other employees sending them on a goose chase to find the answers. Overall, it is a very administrative bureaucracy.
