Pros

Many chances for middle-management advancement and experience with software and hardware that may be difficult to gain experience with in a larger or smaller company.

Cons

Silos and entrenchment. Usually faculty head departments and major positions. Because faculty are not managers, it makes it very difficult sometimes because they go from faculty positions to managing hundreds or thousands of people. Very little chance for advancement beyond a certain level. Salaries have been flat with rising medical costs and inflation. As benefits erode, the bets people have and will leave.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
