Pros

Good time off, benefits, and pay is meh but better than other employers in the field

Cons

The study I worked on was a disorganized mess (worked in the Office of Health Research). PI insisted on doing everything on paper so we had to enter everything 2-4x instead of just once. I was the only full time employee on the specific study I worked on and everybody was splitting their time between multiple studies. The systems we were using to enter data and manage participants were highly inefficient and over complicated. The PI was upset we weren't more productive in spite of her rules being the reason we were wasting all our time with data entry. The building I worked in was falling apart and working downtown was deeply depressing.

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.
