Pros
The name carries some prestige in the community. Being associated with a university, there are lots of opportunities for continuing education. Overall work-life balance was fine.
Cons
- Unethical employment practices. The benefits and management listed on my employment offer were not what I was actually offered when I started the job. I was a non-exempt employee and my manager would change my timecard so they wouldn't have to pay overtime. - Your work environment will depend highly on your manager and department. Mine required me to email every time I got up from my desk. Working from home was not permitted for anyone hired more recently than 5 years ago. - Benefits are the primary attraction for many people as the pay is slightly lower than industry average, but they keep cutting the benefits. The pension plan is continuously being eroded. - Very little advancement opportunities in some departments, and no cost of living adjustments or raises for employees that are not union.
