Pros

The downtown campus pays more than the uptown campus. The benefits are great and the job security is strong. You cannot beat the perk of a tuition waver for yourself, or your kids. There is the usual red tape and frustrations but otherwise it is a great place to work.

Cons

Any significant pay increase/promotion only comes with applying, and moving to, a new position within Tulane. INCREDIBLE amounts of red tape from an administrative perspective.

Pros

Many of the staff who I've interacted with at the University truly do want to make impactful changes whether in a student facing role or a business/operation role. The staff in the student facing roles really do try to assist students and make their lives as seamless as possible when needed. While not beneficial to me the ability to pursue a degree paid for by the school is a great perk.

Cons

There is often a lot of turnover in positions that are instrumental to having a university run smoothly due to an undervaluation of those staff members. In the same vain when these teams lose personnel much of their work is folded onto the remaining team members without any increase in pay or title. This in turn causes significant burnout and usually leads to even more turnover. There is also not really a clear path in growth for staff positions often people will move to another department within the university to see any potential growth.
