Pros

Employees have a great deal of job security and tuition remission, 401(k) and healthcare benefits are great. There is a winter break holiday on top of regular holidays and vacation time is ample. Work-life balance is good. There are opportunities for lifelong learning, and human resources training is wonderful. Certain managers are great. It is difficult to be fired or dismissed.

Cons

Administrative units and colleges tend to operate in silos, so the culture is inconsistent. In my administrative department there seem to be many conservative values and lack of strategic planning, though this is not true of the University as a whole. While employee loyalty is appreciated, it is also important to hold everyone equally accountable to their job duties, and this is not always done. I am not valued by some as a female manager.

Pros

Beautiful, clean, and conveniently located campus. Great food trucks! Lots of space to go for a walk and clear your head or sit on a bench and look at some trees. Nice benefits.

Cons

Temple is very large and very siloed, so if you work in one department, don't expect to be able to move more easily to another part of the school than you would if you were just a random unknown applicant. Once you start working it will be clear which people there genuinely care about the school and passionately work to make it better, and which once just clock in and clock out and won't do a single thing that's not listed in their official job description. But that's bureaucracy for you!
